- Abstract
Nitrogen dioxide, an oxidant gas formed at high temperarores in any combustion process, has puzzled environmental health researchers for decades. At high concentrations (typically > 500-1000 µg/m³), a number of well-established effects have been observed in experimental studies. These include reduced resistance against respiratory infections [1], lung function changes in asthmatics [2], and enhanced bronchial responsiveness to allergens [3]. At the low concentrations typically encountered in the general indoor and outdoor environment, the effects are less clear.
