Volunteer bicyclists (50) were exposed to purified air containing O3 at controlled concentrations of 0, 0.08, 0.16, 0.24 and 0.32 ppm, and to oxidant polluted ambient air (mean O3 concentration 0.15 ppm, mean total particulate concentration 295 .mu.g/m3) in surburban Los Angeles [California, USA]. Exposures (in random order, 14 days apart) involved 1 h of heavy continuous exercise (mean minute volume 57 l) plus brief warm up and cool down periods. Significant (P < 0.05) forced expiratory function decrements and symptom increases occurred in ambient air exposures. In controlled O3 exposures, responses were significant at .gtoreq. 0.16 ppm; their severity increased with increasing O3 concentration. Effects were only partially reversed after 1 h rest in purified air. Ambient exposures produced about the same response as O3 alone at the same concentration. Coexisting pollutants did not appear to enhance the irritancy of O3 in typical moderate ambient oxidant pollution episodes. O3 itself produced respiratory irritation at concentrations slightly above the health based federal [USA] ambient air quality standard of 0.12 ppm O3, at high ventilation rates required during heavy exercise.
