Abstract
Female Dorset sheep were exposed in vivo to ambient ozone levels of 0.12 ppm, 0.25 ppm, 0.50 ppm, 0.70 ppm for 2.75 hours and the effects of this exposure upon erythrocytes were studied. Ozone exposure induced biochemical evidence of oxidant stress as indicated by decreases in reduced glutathione (GSH) levels (at 0.5 and 0.7 ppm ozone) and acetylcholinesterase (at 0.7 ppm), increases in methemoglobin (from 0.12 ppm upward) and decreases in red blood cell counts (0.12 ppm upward). However, only the decrease in GSH levels at the 0.5 ppm ozone exposure was statistically significant (p=0.05). (Copyright (c) 1984 by Chem-Orbital.)
