Objectives: The study of short-term effects of environmental ozone exposure on nasal airflow, lung function, and airway inflammation. Methods: Ninety one children - 47 underwent rhinomanometry - were included. The study was carried out during the 2013 to 2014 academic year. Activity questionnaires and personal O 3 samplers were distributed and 1 week later, respiratory measurements were performed. Daily measurements of outdoor ozone were also considered. Results: A 10μg/m3 increase in weekly personal ozone exposure concentrations was associated with a non-statistically significant 12.7% decrease in nasal inspiratory airflow (29.4% during the high ozone period). When the outdoor exposure of the same and the previous day were taken into account the corresponding figures were 13.48% and 43.58% (P = 0.02). Conclusions: There is an indication for increased risk of nasal obstruction during exposure to high ozone. Copyright © 2017 American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. |
