Research Advance on Mechanism of Ozone Induced Asthma and Its Sensitive Phase

Environmental pollutant ozone exposure is associated with the incidence and prevalence of asthma.Ozone is associated with asthma occurrence and aggravating.Its mechanism may include inflammatory response,peroxidation damage,abnormal immune response,nerve induction,and asthma susceptible gene polymorphisms.The incident of asthma is common among children,and ozone exposure at different lifetime periods may have important impacts on the occurrence of asthma.Results of animal studies show that early life is more sensitive to ozone exposure.
