“…Irritant-induced induction of tachykinin release could serve to enhance ongoing inflammation in the asthmatic lung caused by known immune triggers. Examples consistent with this hypothetical mechanism include the putative interaction between ozone and pollen in asthma exacerbations (25), and the finding in subjects with mild asthma that airway responsiveness to inhaled allergen increases after ozone challenge (26). Airborne irritants could also indirectly enhance neuroinflammation by inhibition of neutral endopeptidase (NEP).…”

“…In the present study, only pollen count was available, and O 3 and pollen count had a synergistic effect on the risk of asthma attacks. Recent experimental studies have shown that O 3 may interact with air suspended allergens by amplifying the response to the allergen [29,30].…”

“…Ozone has been of particular concern, as it provokes airway inflammation at very low levels (Aris et al 1993). In addition, ozone increases airway reactivity (Horstman et al 1990;Kreit et al 1989), and there is evidence to suggest that ozone may potentiate the effects of allergens (Molfino et al 1991). Ozone levels have been related to increases in asthma admissions and emergency room visits among children in Atlanta, Georgia (White et al 1994), New Jersey (Cody et al 1992), and Mexico City (Romieu et al 1995).…”
