Alterations of plant metabolism by ozone exposure
Heath, RL
1,994
The air pollutant, ozone, is spread over the face of the globe and its level is increasing with industrial activity. We have had some success in limiting its further increase in specific regions, but its concentration continues to rise in other urban settings especially in developing countries. Ozone exposure of plants...

Ozone-induced lung toxicity: mediated by ozonides?
De Vries, J; Hempenius, RA; Rietjens, IMCM
1,994
In an in vitro study a comparison was made between the cytotoxicities of a model ozonide, methyl linoleate-9,10-ozonide (MLO), and a model peroxidative agent, cumene hydroperoxide (CumOOH), by measuring the effects of both compounds on the phagocytosing capacity of rat alveolar macrophages. Toxicity as well as detoxica...

The critical level for ozone to protect agricutural crops - an assessment of data from European open-top chamber experiments
Fuhrer, J
1,994
For gaseous pollutants such as ozone, the critical levels concept allows to relate atmospheric concentrations to effects predicted to occur when sensitive receptors are exposed. The critical level for ozone is defined as the level above which adverse effects may occur. By comparing measured levels with the critical lev...

Fluxes of nitrous oxide and methane from nitrogen-amended soils in a Colorado alpine ecosystem
Neff, JS; Bowman, WD; Holland, EA; Fisk, MC; Schmidt, SK

In order to determine the effect of increased nitrogen inputs on fluxed of N2O and CH4 from alpine soils, we measured fluxes of these gases from fertilized and unfertilized soils in wet and dry alpine meadows. In the dry meadow, the addition of nitrogen resulted in a 22-foId increase in N2O emissions, while in the wet ...

Calderon-Garciduenas, L; Rodriguez-Alcaraz, A; Garcia, R; Sanchez, G; Barragan, G; Camacho, R; Ramirez, L
1,994
Millions of people worldwide are living in areas where ozone (O3) concentrations exceed health standards (an hourly average of 235 Ag/m3/0.12 ppm, not to be exceeded more than once per year). Ozone induces acute nasal inflammatory responses and significant epithelial lesions in experimental animals and humans. To deter...

Health effects of outdoor air pollution
Neher, JO; Koenig, JQ
1,994
One hundred sixty-four million Americans live in areas that fail to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for six common air pollutants: particulates, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and lead. The impact of these pollutants on health is significant. A Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) r...

Some applications of radial plots
Galbraith, RF
1,994
A radial plot is a graphical display for comparing estimates that have differing precisions. It is a scatter plot of standardized estimates against reciprocals of standard errors, possibly with respect to a transformed scale, designed so that the original estimates can be compared and interpreted. The estimates may be ...

Atmospheric ozone affects carbohydrate allocation and winter hardiness of Pinus halepensis (Mill)
Wellburn, FAM; Wellburn, AR
1,994
Fumigation of 2 year-old Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) trees with episodes of O3 (up to 120 nl l-1; as compared to 25 nl l-1) throughout two summer seasons produces taller plants with greater stem diameters but reduced root: shoot ratios. Both light and electron microscopy of current year needles carried out at ...

A comparison of advection algorithms coupled with chemistry
Chock, DP; Winkler, SL
1,994
Three-dimensional air quality models face the problem of solving the advection or advection-dominated transport equation. The performance of six advection algorithms coupled with chemistry is assessed here. The six algorithms are the forward-Euler Taylor-Galerkin (FETG) method, the implicit Chapeau-function method, a s...

O3 and NOy relationships at a rural site
Olszyna, KJ; Bailey, EM; Simonaitis, R; Meagher, JF
1,994
Measurements of O3, NO, NO2, peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), HNO3, and NO y were made during a 6-week period in the summer of 1991 in Giles County, Tennessee. These data were analyzed to determine the factors controlling the relationship between O3 and NO y at this rural site. A strong association was observed between the ...

Effects of acute and continuous ozone (O3) exposure on activity/exploration and social behavior of CD-1 mice
Musi, B; Dell'Omo, G; Ricceri, L; Santucci, D; Laviola, G; Bignami, G; Alleva, E
1,994
This study was aimed at investigating the behavioral effects of ozone (O3) exposure in CD-1 mice. Pairs of same-sex adult male and female mice were continuously exposed for 13 days to either 0, 0.4, 0.8, or 1.2 ppm O3. The exposure apparatus consisted of a system for O3 production and delivery into four stainless-steel...

Standard ozone monitoring techniques utilize large, heavy, and expensive instruments that are not easily adapted for personal or microenvironmental monitoring. For large-scale monitoring projects that examine spatial variations of a pollutant and human exposure assessments, passive sampling devices can provide the meth...

Respiratory function changes from inhalation of polluted air
Yang, SC; Yang, SP

Exposure to polluted air may trigger respiratory symptoms in certain subjects. Maximal expiratory flow volume measurements and methacholine bronchial challenges were conducted in 25 asthmatics and 30 healthy volunteers, before and after breathing bagged polluted air for 30 min, to determine whether exposures to pollute...

The role of microclimate in determining the sensitivity of Quercus rubra L. to ozone
Samuelson, L
1,994
Microclimate has been suggested as a factor to consider when scaling ozone responses of forest trees from the seedling to tree level. To test whether microclimate influences the response of seedlings to ozone, 1-yr-old Quercus rubra L. seedlings were grown in the shaded upper or lower canopy of 31-yr-old trees in...

Ozone-induced release of cytokines and fibronectin by alveolar macrophages and airway epithelial cells
Devlin, RB; Mckinnon, KP; Noah, T; Becker, S; Koren, HS

Acute exposure of animals and humans to ozone results in decrements in lung function, development of airway hyperreactivity, inflammation, edema, damage to pulmonary cells, and production of several compounds with tissue damaging, fibrinogenic or fibrotic potential. The contribution of airway epithelial cells and alveo...

Active and passive ozone samplers based on a reaction with a binary reagent
Hackney, JD; Avol, EL; Linn, WS; Anderson, KR
1,994
Ozone is one of the most toxic common air pollutants (judging from short-term animal and human exposure studies at realistic concentrations) and one of the most difficult and expensive pollutants to control. Because of ozone's high chemical reactivity, its concentrations may vary greatly over short distances, and fixed...

We assessed the relative impact of residential exposure to community air pollution and habitual cigarette smoking on lung function by comparing the annualized rate of change in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) in current, former, and never-smokers 25 to 59 yr of age residing in three demographically similar areas...

We develop and apply an approach to the spatial interpolation of a vector-valued random response field. The Bayesian approach we adopt enables uncertainty about the underlying models to be represented in expressing the accuracy of the resulting interpolants.

#Sodium oleate cosolubilized with lysozyme in reverse micellar solutions is shown to inhibit the ozone-mediated oxidation of tryptophan residues in the protein. The magnitude of inhibition by oleate, which is an indirect measure of the fraction of ozone that reacts with oleate instead of the protein, is predictable usi...
