Pulmonary function in men after short-term exposure to ozone
Journal Article

· Arch. Environ. Health; (United States)
Volunteers were exposed to 0.37 or 0.75 ppm ozone for 2 hr in environmental chamber while doing light exercise and resting intermittently. Slight discomfort resulted: dry throat, cough, chest tightness. Reduction in flow rates, FVC, and FEV at 1 and 2 hr was noted. Thus, ozone reached terminal bronchioles and impaired their function. Reduction in pulmonary measurements of maximum flow results were probably due to decreased lung elastic recoil, increased airway resistence, and small airway obstruction.
