Annotated Bibliography of Ozone Health Studies (1997-2002), January 27, 2003
Recent research with laboratory animals, clinical subjects, and human populations has identified a cascade of adverse health effects from ozone at levels common in the United States. Effects include increased respiratory symptoms, damage to cells of the respiratory tract, pulmonary inflammation, declines in lung function, increased susceptibility to respiratory infections, and increased risk of hospitalization and early death.
The attached bibliography represents a sampling of the peer-reviewed scientific literature on the health effects of ozone air pollution published since EPA’s last revision of the standards in 1997.
