Popis: A group of 56 asymptomatic non-smoking men was prospectively recruited to study the relationship between nasal mucosal pH and saccharin clearance rate. No significant relationship was found between the two variables (Pearson correlation coefficient = -.105, p = 0.44). This finding suggests that in vivo mucociliary flow rates are resistant to change within the pH range of the physiologically normal nose.
