Experimental exposures to nitrogen dioxide.
Nitrogen dioxide (N02) produced by combustion processes, is a major constituent of ambient air pollution in urban and industrial areas. It also plays a role as an indoor air pollutant and in the workplace. Indeed acute inhalation accidents in the workplace with high concentrations of N02 provided the first evidence of its adverse respiratory effects. Epidemiological studies provided evidence of...
متن کاملThe Effect of Electrotonus on the Olfactory Epithelium
The effect of electrotonus on the slow potential of the olfactory epithelium of the frog was studied. The "on"-slow potential induced by a general odor like amyl acetate increased its magnitude in accordance with increase of anodal current, while it decreased its magnitude with increase of cathodal current. Similar relations were also found in the case of the vapors of organic solvents like eth...
متن کاملCritical review of the human data on short-term nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposures: evidence for NO2 no-effect levels.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a ubiquitous atmospheric pollutant due to the widespread prevalence of both natural and anthropogenic sources, and it can be a respiratory irritant when inhaled at elevated concentrations. Evidence for health effects of ambient NO2 derives from three types of studies: observational epidemiology, human clinical exposures, and animal toxicology. Our review focuses on the...

متن کاملRepeated Nitrogen Dioxide Exposures and Eosinophilic Airway Inflammation in Asthmatics: A Randomized Crossover Study
BACKGROUND Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a ubiquitous atmospheric pollutant, may enhance the asthmatic response to allergens through eosinophilic activation in the airways. However, the effect of NO2 on inflammation without allergen exposure is poorly studied. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether repeated peaks of NO2, at various realistic concentrations, induce changes in airway inflammation in asth...
