Growth responses and related biochemical and ultrastructural changes of the photosynthetic apparatus in birch (Betula pendula) saplings exposed to low concentrations of ozone
Paakkonen, E; Vahala, J; Holopainen, T; Karjalainen, R; Karenlampi, L
1,996
Saplings of ozone-sensitive and ozone-tolerant birch (Betula pendula Roth.), clones B and C, respectively, were exposed to ozone concentrations that were 1.7-fold higher than ambient for one growing season under open-field conditions. Ambient air was used as the control treatment. In the ozone-sensitive clone B, there ...

Air pollution and mortality: Results from a study of Santiago, Chile
Ostro, B; Sanchez, JM; Aranda, C; Eskeland, GS
1,996
In 1986, the U.S. EPA issued an air quality standard for particulate matter that included only particulates below 10 microns in diameter (PM10). Unfortunately, epidemiological research investigating the health effects associated with PM10 has been limited by the lack of available daily data from outdoor monitoring stat...

Field measurements of isoprene emission from trees in response to temperature and light
Sharkey, TD; Singsaas, EL; Vanderveer, PJ; Geron, CD
1,996
The atmospheric hydrocarbon budget is important for predicting ozone episodes and the effects of pollution mitigation strategies. Isoprene emission from plants is an important part of the atmospheric hydrocarbon budget. We measured isoprene emission capacity at the bottom, middle, and top of the canopies of a white oak...

Particulate pollution and health: a review of the Utah Valley experience
Pope, CA, III
1,996
Utah Valley has provided an interesting and unique opportunity to evaluate the health effects of respirable particulate pollution (PM10) for several reasons. (1) It has moderately high average PM10 levels, and during low-level temperature inversion episodes, local emissions may become trapped in a stagnant air mass nea...

Ozone enhances the uptake of mineral particles by tracheobronchial epithelial cells in organ culture
Churg, A; Brauer, M; Keeling, B
1,996
Medical Research Council of Canada #We have previously shown that the basal uptake of mineral particles by tracheobronchial epithelial cells in organ culture is mediated in part by active oxygen species (AOS) and can be greatly augmented by exposure to cigarette smoke, a concentrated source of AOS, and other radicals. ...

The 1994 Oslo Protocol for reduction of sulphur dioxide emissions was developed in the context of transboundary air pollution and its effects on acidification of natural ecosystems. However there are additional benefits of such emission abatement which are concentrated closer to the source in the country of origin. Thi...

Lipid ozonation products (LOP) as mediators of ozone toxicity
Pryor, WA; Kafoury, R; Squadrito, GL; Friedman, M
1,996
Ozone's lifetime is so short that it can not penetrate beyond the epithelial lining fluid or lung cell membranes. Therefore, we have proposed [Free Radical Biol Med 19:935 (1995)] that LOP act in signal transduction & relay the effects of ozone to deeper tissue strata. LOP have been isolated & identified in lavage & lu...

Effects of rooting medium and fertilizer rate on response of white clover to tropospheric ozone

Two white clover (Trifolium repens L.) clones with varying sensitivity to O3 are being developed as a system to indicate effects of ambient concentrations of tropospheric O3 on plants. One clone (NC-S) is highly sensitive to O3 and the other (NC-R) is highly resistant. The system relies on periodic measurement of folia...
