From:Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (Vol. 53, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT Numerical simulations with photochemical transport models were independently performed for two domains situated in the Iberian Peninsula covering the Lisbon and Barcelona airsheds. Although the days chosen...

Effects of exposure to 0.06 ppm Ozone on [FEV.sub.1] in humans:a secondary analysis of existing data
BACKGROUND: Ozone is a potent photochemical oxidant that produces transient, reversible decrements in the lung function of acutely exposed individuals. A recent study provided previously unavailable clinical data for 30... -
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 11, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedStrings of dots can be used to construct easily identifiable letters, and these in turn can be used to write words and sentences. Prior work found that respondents could identify individual letters when all the dots...
