Nitrogen dioxide exposure from domestic gas cooking and airway response in asthmatic women.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have not found a consistent association between exposure to domestic cooking using gas appliances and exacerbation of asthma. We investigated the immediate airflow response to acute exposure from single episodes of gas cooking, and peak airflow variability from continued exposure to repeated episodes of gas cooking in a group of non-smoking asthmatic women. METHODS...
متن کاملNitrogen dioxide exposure: effects on airway and blood cells.
This study examined the effects of nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) exposure on airway inflammation, blood cells, and antiviral respiratory defense. Twenty-one healthy volunteers were exposed on separate occasions to air and 0.6 and 1.5 ppm NO(2) for 3 h with intermittent moderate exercise. Phlebotomy and bronchoscopy were performed 3.5 h after each exposure, and recovered cells were challenged with re...
متن کاملExposure of Laboratory Mice to Domestic Cooking Gas: - Implications for Toxicity
The ability of domestic cooking gas to induce hepatotoxicity and clastogenicity in mice was studied. The mice were exposed to domestic gas for twenty-one days at doses of 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg respectively. The positive control group of mice were given sodium arsenite intraperitoneously at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight. While the negative control group had only distilled water, s...
متن کاملEffect of short-term, low-level nitrogen dioxide exposure on bronchial sensitivity of asthmatic patients.
Our purpose was to determine whether exposure to a realistic concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) could increase the bronchial sensitivity of asthmatic patients to bronchoconstrictor agents. We established dose-response curves for changes in specific airway resistance (SRaw) in response to aerosolized carbachol in 20 asthmatics after each had spent 1 h in an exposure chamber breathing on one...
متن کاملCombined exposure to ozone and nitrogen dioxide.
The combined effects of ozone and nitrogen dioxide were assessed in an in vitro test system utilizing human red cells. In general, these two pollutants had additive effects on the parameters measured which included osmotic fragility, acetylcholinesterase activity, lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione and methemoglobin levels. However, at lower pollutant doses a synergistic increase in lipid ...
