Cure Research for Respiratory conditions

Medical Research Breakthroughs and Respiratory conditions

Ozone exposure increases mortality: A new report from the US National Research Council (NRC) says that short term exposure to ozone contributes to premature deaths. Ozone is a key component of smog which damages human health, causing respiratory and other problems. The NRC Committee on estimating the mortality risk reduction benefits from decreasing tropospheric ozone exposure, reviewed recent research and found that deaths linked to ozone exposure were more common among people who were already ill or susceptible for other reasons and that premature deaths were not limited just to those who were already within a few days of dying. The committee is now interested in finding a threshold level of ozone concentration in the air below which there was no link to increased risk of death. The available research on short term exposure accounts for only some ozone-linked mortality. The risk of death may be greater, if longer term exposure, such as weeks and years, is taken into account, and more research is needed in this area.
