Research Abstract
Studies compare the toxicity of gaseous pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen oxides, and formaldehyde in localized areas of the respiratory system to provide sensitive means to identify injury to the airway. Immunocytochemical procedures are used to understand mechanisms controlling airway permeability. Inflammatory response to air pollutants and the role of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue in the transport of molecules are additional interests.
