Description
Highlights: • An acute exposure to 0.2 ppm ozone impairs odor detection threshold. • The cause is not clear, different modes of action might play at role. • Olfactory threshold seems sensitive to photochemical air pollutants' effects. Ozone is a ubiquitous and irritant gas. We questioned whether an acute exposure to 0.2 ppm ozone impaired olfactory functioning.
