Forty adult hospital workers were followed prospectively in 1989 by monthly assessment of the lung function and bronchial responsiveness to methacholine in a rural region in Switzerland. No correlation was demonstrated between these values and the concentrations of tropospheric ozone. Nevertheless, this is not incompatible with previous studies showing impairment of ventilatory function in subjects exposed to ozone, for several reasons: ozone levels in 1989 were low, the indoor concentrations were lower than outdoors and the volunteers performed little or no physical activity.

D010126 Ozone The unstable triatomic form of oxygen, O3. It is a powerful oxidant that is produced for various chemical and industrial uses. Its production is also catalyzed in the ATMOSPHERE by ULTRAVIOLET RAY irradiation of oxygen or other ozone precursors such as VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS and NITROGEN OXIDES. About 90% of the ozone in the atmosphere exists in the stratosphere (STRATOSPHERIC OZONE).
