Long-term toxicity studies of ozone in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice
Boorman, GA; Sills, RC; Grumbein, S; Hailey, R; Miller, RA; Herbert, RA
1,995
The toxicity and carcinogenicity of ozone was evaluated in Fischer 344/N rats and B6C3Fl mice exposed to 0, 0.12 (2 years only), 0.5or 1.0 ppm ozone by inhalation for 2-year and lifetime exposures. A 2-year cocarcinogenicity study (male rats only) included the subcutaneous administration of 0. 0.1 or 1.0 mg/kg/body wt...

Recent extinction rates are 100 to 1000 times their pre-human levels in well-known, but taxonomically diverse groups from widely different environments. If all species currently deemed "threatened" become extinct in the next century, then future extinction rates will be 10 times recent rates. Some threatened species wi...

1,995
The quality of environmental studies is often compromised by the use of statistics, such as correlation and regression for example, which presuppose a statistical model, linear or otherwise, between two variables. When investigating hypotheses about relationships among geographically distributed variables, an alternati...

Modeling of nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon formation and decay in the atmosphere
Fan, Z; Chen, D; Birla, P; Kamens, RM
1,995
A reaction mechanism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and nitro-PAH (NPAH) in the gas and particle phase in the atmosphere has been further evaluated and modified using outdoor smog chamber experimental results. Diesel exhaust emissions were added to a 190 m3 outdoor smog chamber and permitted to age under con...

Effects of ozone and water deficit on field-grown soybean: I Leaf gas exchange
Vozzo, SF; Miller, JE; Pursley, WA; Heagle, AS
1,995
Ozone (O3) and water deficit can suppress net carbon exchange rate (NCER) of plant tissues, but little is known concerning their combined effects on NCER of field-grown plants. Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. 'Young'] plants were exposed to two soil moisture regimes (providing well-watered and periodically water-defici...

1,995
Methacholine and adenosine 5'-monophosphate bronchial challenges were performed in 54 young children--39 with asthma and 15 with other chronic airway diseases (CADs), with the use of the auscultative method. Children with asthma were sensitive to both methacholine and adenosine; children with CAD responded only to meth...

Interaction of ozone pollution and light effects on photosynthesis in a forest canopy experiment

Ozone pollution may reduce net carbon gain in forests, yet data from mature trees are rare and the effects of irradiance on the response of photosynthesis to ozone remain untested. We used an open-air system to expose 10 branches within the upper canopy of an 18-m-tall stand of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) to tw...
