  • Title: Ozone exposure: a case report and discussion.
    Author: Parks S, Paul DW.
    Journal: J Okla State Med Assoc; 2000 Feb; 93(2):48-51. PubMed ID: 10692811.
    Abstract:
    A 45-year-old man working with ozone presents with evidence of sinusitis, mucus membrane irritation, sleep disturbance and shortness of breath. Naturally occurring or manmade, ozone may damage pulmonary alveolar type I cells at significant exposure levels. EPA and OSHA regulate exposure concentrations. Studies show dose responses with exposures. Supporting epidemiological studies are reviewed briefly. Limiting potential for excess exposure is key to prevention. Recognition of ozone as a potential exposure in the Oklahoma workplace is key to symptom management.
