Title: Studies of young female responses to acute ozone exposure. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:128173

The primary purposes of this research were to determine if: (1) young adult females respond with greater acute effects of ozone (O3) than their male counterparts at a dose relative to lung size as well as at the same total dose; (2) O3 response in females is influenced by the disparate levels of progesterone (a steroid hormone) that they experience during the various phases of their menstrual cycles; and (3) O3 exposure has an effect on the integrity of normal menstrual cycles of healthy young adult females.
