Pulmonary Function Impairment Produced by Atmospheric Pollution.
T HE INSPIRED AIR MAY BE POLLUTED by a variety of factors ranging from personal air pollution, as cigarette smoking, to contamination of all the air in a locality as occurs in Los Angeles or the Tokyo-Yokohama area of Japan. The rapid expansion of industry, the use of synthetic chemicals and the increased use of the automobile have created many air pollution problems, so that the clean air supp...
متن کاملThe Systemic and Pulmonary Immune Response to Staphylococcal Enterotoxins
In response to environmental cues the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus synthesizes and releases proteinaceous enterotoxins. These enterotoxins are natural etiologic entities of severe food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, and acute diseases. Staphylococcal enterotoxins are currently listed as Category B Bioterrorism Agents by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. They are associate...
متن کاملResponse of the Systemic and Pulmonary Circulation
Labetalol (L), a drug with both aand fl-adrenoceptor blocking properties, was administered to 18 hypertensive patients for an average duration of 2.44 weeks, with an average final daily dose of 1.65 g. L decreased resting heart rate (HR) by 16% and maximal exercise HR by 21%; the phenylephrine-induced rise of brachial artery pressure (BAP) was reduced by 30-40%, and the rise of systemic vascula...
متن کاملChinese Growth and Atmospheric Pollution:
This paper uses a dynamic CGE model, calibrated to new and detailed Chinese emissions data, to assess two important questions. What can we reasonably expect Chinese emissions trends to look like over the next two decades? Secondly, what would be the appropriate policy interventions to flatten Chinese emissions trajectories and reduce the risk of local, regional, and even global adversity? This ...
متن کاملAtmospheric pollution and lung cancer.
Lung cancer is consistently more common in urban areas than in rural. The excess cannot be accounted for by specific occupational hazards but some of it might be due to the presence of carcinogens in urban air. The excess cannot be wholly due to such agents, because the excess in nonsmokers is small and variable. Cigarette consumption has also been greater in urban areas, but it is difficult to...
