Summary

This study looked at how genetics and the environment affect lung function after breathing ozone. Fourteen healthy volunteers had their lungs tested after breathing either clean air or ozone. The goal was to understand how the body's response to ozone might be influenced by a specific gene, which could help explain why some people are more sensitive to air pollution.
