Impacts of ozone on Plantago major: apoplastic and symplastic antioxidant status
Lyons, T; Ollerenshaw, JH; Barnes, JD
1,999
The aim of this work was to examine the correspondence between apoplastic/symplastic antioxidant status and previously reported giant age-related shifts in the ozone (O-3) resistance of Plantago major L. Seed-grown plants were fumigated in duplicate controlled environment chambers with charcoal/Purafil(R)-filtered air ...

Accumulation and depletion of base cations in forest floors in the northeastern United States
Yanai, RD; Siccama, TG; Arthur, MA; Federer, CA; Friedland, AJ
1,999
Loss of base cations from forest soils can be accelerated by acid rain, by forest regrowth following harvest removals, and by declining inputs of base cations from atmospheric deposition. Calcium losses from forest floors have been reported at several sites in the northeastern United States. To test for loss of base ca...

Back, J; Vanderklein, DW; Topa, MA
1,999
The interactive effects of ozone and light on leaf structure, carbon dioxide uptake and short-term carbon allocation of sugar maple (Acer saccharumn Marsh.) seedlings were examined using gas exchange measurements and 14C-macroautoradiographic techniques. Two-year-old sugar maple seedlings were fumigated from budbreak...

Impact of oxidant air pollutants on forest succession in the mixed conifer forests of the San Bernardino Mountains
McBride, JR; Laven, RD
1,999
Chronic air pollution is an anthropogenic disturbance that may be influencing plant succession in the San Bernardino Mountains. Westman (1979, 1981) suggested that air pollution induced successional changes that were occurring in the coastal sage scrub communities of southern California. Air pollution differentially af...

The use of a mixture of low concentrations of ozone (O3) with oxygen (O2) have been proved to be useful in different human pathological conditions. Owing to a lack of both pharmacological and epidemiological basic studies, the scientific consideration of this therapeutic potential is still inappropriate. Here, we start...

Inhibition of ozone-induced lung neutrophilia and nuclear factor-kappaB binding activity by vitamin A in rat
Hisada, T; Adcock, IM; Nasuhara, Y; Salmon, M; Huang, TJ; Barnes, PJ; Chung, KF
1,999
Vitamin A binds to retinoic acid receptors, which in turn may interact with other transcription factors. We determined its effect (2500 and 5000IU/kg) on nuclear factor-kappa B binding activity in the lung, airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in rats exposed to ozone. Ozone (3 ppm, 3 h) caused neutrop...

Ozone (O3)-induced accelerated senescence of leaves was measured in four tree species: black cherry (Prunus serotina), hybrid poplar (Populus maximowiczii X trichocarpa, clone 245), northern red oak (Quercus rubra) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum). Seedlings or ramets of the four species were subjected to chronic O3 ex...

Alkylbenzenes are important constituents of gasoline and industrial solvents and contribute to the formation of tropospheric ozone. The removal of these compounds from the troposphere is due to reaction with OH during the day and with NO[sub 3] during the night. Five para-substituted toluene are reacted with the nitrat...
