Repeated exposure of rats to 2.4 ppM O/sub 3/ (16 hr/day or 4 hr/day, 4 to 5 days/wk) induced some edema and hemorrhage. Maximum lung damage occurred at about 32 hr accumulated exposure with some adaptation noted after that. Weight gain of young rats decreased with increased O/sub 3/ exposure. Twenty of 102 mice died after 241 days of continuous 2.4 ppM O/sub 3/. Ozone did not change hematocrit or hemoglobin.
