Cardiorespiratory responses to low-level ozone exposure: The inDoor Ozone Study in childrEn (DOSE)

Abstract

Exposure to low-level indoor ozone that is not associated with respiratory effects was significantly related to disturbed cardiac autonomic function and increased HR in children, which suggested a possible mechanism through which ozone may affect cardiovascular health in children, and indicated more protective measures should be taken to alleviate the acute adverse effects of indoor ozone in this susceptible population.
