The biological response to ambient air pollution may be a function of specific combinations of pollutants. Groups of rabbits were exposed to NO2(0.3 ppm or 1 ppm) with and without H2SO4(0.5 mg/m3) for 2 hr/day for up to 14 days for assessment of effects upon mucociliary clearance of tracer particles from the tracheobronchial tree. Exposure to NO2did not alter clearance, while exposure to H2SO4produced a retardation toward the middle of the exposure series. The combination of 0.3 ppm NO2with H2SO4resulted in a speeding of clearance, while no change from control was seen with the mixture employing 1 ppm NO2with acid. These results emphasize the importance of performing studies with pollutant mixtures, since it is not always possible to extrapolate responses from studies examining effects of individual pollutants.
