First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looks at how breathing ozone—a common air pollutant—affects immune cells in the lungs. Healthy adults will breathe filtered air and low-level ozone on separate days, then cough up a sputum sample for analysis. The goal is to understand the body's response to ozone, not to treat any disease. Results may help explain how air pollution harms lungs.
