OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential effects of lifetime cumulative ozone (O3) exposure on acute pulmonary responses to O3. METHODS: Fifteen healthy subjects from a larger cohort of young adults were exposed to 200 ppb O3 for 4 hours followed by bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage 18 hours later. Lung function, symptom questionnaires, and blood samples were obtained before and after each exposure. Subjects' lifetime cumulative O3 exposures were estimated from residential histories and air-quality monitoring data. RESULTS: Acute exposure to O3 caused decrements in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), maximal mid-expiratory flow rate (FEF25-75), and forced expiratory flow rate at 75% of forced vital capacity (FEF75), and an increase in plasma clara cell protein (CC16) level. Changes in CC16 and lower respiratory symptoms, but not in lung function, were positively correlated with lifetime cumulative O3 exposure. CONCLUSION: Higher lifetime cumulative O3 exposure was associated with airway injury and respiratory symptom responses, but not with airway inflammatory or lung function responses, to acute O3 exposure.
