Early life exposure to coal mine fire smoke emissions and altered lung function in young childrenInfant exposure to coal mine fire emissions could be associated with long-term impairment of lung reactance
On average, a person can expect to take more than 700 million breaths in their lifetime.
Research
Mouse Lung Structure and Function after Long-Term Exposure to an Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Level Predicted by Climate Change ModelingClimate change models predict that atmospheric carbon dioxide [CO2] levels will be between 700 and 900 ppm within the next 80yrs. In this study we aimed to assess the respiratory structure and function effects of long-term exposure to 890ppm CO2 from preconception to adulthood using a mouse model.

Elevated leukotriene B4 and 8-isoprostane in exhaled breath condensate from preterm-born infantsInflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), possibly contributing to persistent respiratory morbidity after preterm birth. We aimed to assess if inflammatory markers were elevated in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) of infants born very prematurely (< 32 weeks gestation) at 12-16 corrected months of age, and if increased levels were associated with BPD diagnosis and respiratory morbidity.
