Long-term residence in areas of high ozone: associations with respiratory health in a nationwide sample of nonsmoking young adults

Article Abstract:

An association has been found between diminished lung function and increased chronic respiratory symptoms for young adults who have been long-term residents (for 4 or more years) in high-ozone areas of the US, in a study involving 520 Yale College students. Age, sex, race, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, and other potentially confounding factors were controlled for.
