Abstract: Examines the reduction in the impact of a deep inhalation on forced expiratory flow due to ozone exposure among non-smoking subjects. Antioxidant status in nasal lavage and of nasal cavity dimensions during exposure to clean air and ozone; Maximal flows after saline exposure; Role of parasympathetic nervous system in acute lung response to ozone.
