Long-term ambient concentrations of total suspended particulates and oxidants as related to incidence of chronic disease in California Seventh-Day Adventists
Abbey, DE; Mills, PK; Petersen, FF; Beeson, WL
1,991
Cancer incidence and mortality in a cohort of 6000 nonsmoking California Seventh-Day Adventists were monitored for a 6-year period, and relationshipswith long-term cumulative ambient air pollution were observed. Total suspended particulates (TSP) and ozone were measured in terms of numbers of hours in excess of several...

Effects of ozone and acidic deposition on carbon allocation and mycorrhizal colonization of Pinus taeda L seedlings
Adams, MB; O'Neill, EG
1,991
Patterns of carbon allocation and mycorrhizal colonization were examined in loblolly pine seedlings from two half-sib families exposed to three ozone treatments (charcoal-filtered air, ambient air + 80 ppb O3, and ambient air + 160 ppb O3) and three rain pH levels (5.2, 4.5, and 3.3) for 12 weeks in open-topped chamber...

Effect of chemical kinetics uncertainties on calculated constituents in a tropospheric photochemical model
Thompson, AM; Stewart, RW
1,991
The imprecision of photochemical reaction rates as measured in the laboratory introduces significant uncertainty into trace species concentration calculated in a photochemical model. We have evaluated uncertainties in tropospheric concentrations calculated with a one-dimensional photochemical model, using a Monte Carlo...

Practical causal inference for ecoepidemiologists
Fox, GA
1,991
Environmental scientists and managers must determine whether a relationship between an environmental factor and an observed effect is causal and respond accordingly. Epidemiologists have, over the past 150 yr, developed a systematic approach to evaluating these relationships. Their criteria for objectively evaluating t...

Effects of urban air pollution on emergency room admissions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Sunyer, J; Anto, JM; Murillo, C; Saez, M

FISss (Spain?). #The authors assessed the relation between sulfur dioxide and other air pollutants (black smoke, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone) and daily emergency room admissions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Barcelona, Spain, during 1985-1986. Barcelona is a Mediterranean city of 1.7 mil...

[Changes of procoagulant and fibrinolytic activities in the alveoli of rats exposed to ozone]
Shima, M; Adachi, M
1,991
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of ozone, a reactive product of environmental photochemical oxidation, in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Male Wistar rats were exposed continuously to 0.5 ppm ozone for 1,4,7 and 14 days, and alveolar macrophages and lavage fluid obtained by bronchoalveolar lav...

Studies of inspiratory airflow patterns in the nasal passages of the F344 rat and rhesus monkey using nasal molds: Relevance to formaldehyde toxicity
Morgan, KT; Kimbell, JS; Monticello, TM; Patra, AL; Fleishman, A
1,991
For highly water soluble and reactive gases, such as formaldehyde, the reported distribution of nasal lesions in rats and rhesus monkeys following inhalation exposure may be attributable, at least in part, to regional gas uptake patterns that are a consequence of nasal airflow characteristics. Inspiratory nasal airflow...

The response of guniea pig airway epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages to environmental stress
Cohen, DS; Palmer, E; Welch, WJ; Sheppard, D
1,991
Cells lining the respiratory tract form an interface between the organism and the external environment and are repeatedly exposed to physical, chemical, and metabolic stresses. We examined the response of cultured guinea pig tracheal epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages to various forms of stress, including clinic...

Controlling urban air pollution: a benefit-cost assessment
Krupnick, AJ; Portney, PR
1,991
To help focus debate about the best use of society's resources, it is important to have estimates of the benefits and costs of further improvements in air quality. Such estimates are developed, with focus primarily on reductions in ground-level ozone resulting from the control of volatile organic compounds; to a lesser...

Air pollutants and the respiratory system: toxicity and pharmacologic interventions
Koenig, JQ; Pierson, WE
1,991
Air pollution remains a major aggravation of respiratory symptoms and disease. Sulfur dioxide, ozone, sulfuric acid, particulate matter such as the fine particles from wood smoke, and nitrogen dioxide all produce significant effects when investigated in laboratory or field studies. These effects are decreases in pulmon...

Suppression and recovery of the alveolar macrophage phagocytic system during continuous exposure to 05 ppm ozone
Gilmour, MI; Hmieleski, RR; Stafford, EA; Jakab, GJ
1,991
Short-term exposures to ozone (O3) are known to impair pulmonary antibacterial defenses and alveolar macrophage (AM) phagocytosis in a dose-related manner. To determine the effect of prolonged O3 exposure, Swiss mice were exposed continuously to 0.5 ppm O3. At 1, 3, 7, and 14 days, intrapulmonary killing was assessed b...

On-road CO remote sensing in the Los Angeles Basin: Final report
Stedman, DH; Bishop, G; Peterson, JE; Guenther, PL
1,991
An analysis of the data indicates that a conservative upper limit of fifteen percent of the measured CO emissions arises from vehicles in either a cold start or an off-cycle acceleration mode. Forty three percent of the fleet of 77 vehicles measured four or more times were always in the clean (<1 % CO) category. These ...
