Abstract
Ambient air ozone (O3) is generated photochemically from oxides of nitrogen and volatile hydrocarbons. Inhaled O3 causes remarkably reversible acute lung function changes and inflammation. Approximately 80% of inhaled O3 is deposited on the airways. O3 reacts rapidly with CC double bonds in hydrophobic airway and alveolar surfactant-associated phospholipids and cholesterol. Resultant primary ozonides further react to generate bioactive hydrophilic products that also initiate lipid peroxidation leading to eicosanoids and isoprostanes of varying electrophilicity. Airway surface liquid ascorbate and urate also scavenge O3. Thus, inhaled O3 may not interact directly with epithelial cells. Acute O3-induced lung function changes are dominated by involuntary inhibition of inspiration (rather than bronchoconstriction), mediated by stimulation of intraepithelial nociceptive vagal C-fibers via activation of transient receptor potential (TRP) A1 cation channels by electrophile (e.g., 4-oxo-nonenal) adduction of TRPA1 thiolates enhanced by PGE2-stimulated sensitization. Acute O3-induced neutrophilic airways inflammation develops more slowly than the lung function changes. Surface macrophages and epithelial cells are involved in the activation of epithelial NFkB and generation of proinflammatory mediators such as IL-6, IL-8, TNFa, IL-1b, ICAM-1, E-selectin and PGE2. O3-induced partial depolymerization of hyaluronic acid and the release of peroxiredoxin-1 activate macrophage TLR4 while oxidative epithelial cell release of EGFR ligands such as TGFa or EGFR transactivation by activated Src may also be involved. The ability of lipid ozonation to generate potent electrophiles also provides pathways for Nrf2 activation and inhibition of canonical NFkB activation. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Air Pollution, edited by Wenjun Ding, Andrew J. Ghio and Weidong Wu.

Abstract
It is proposed to discuss how ozonetherapy acts on patients affected by vascular and degenerative diseases. Ozone is a strong oxidant but, if used in small dosages on human blood ex vivo, acts as an acceptable stressor. By instantly reacting with PUFA bound to albumin, ozone is entirely consumed but generates two messengers acting in an early and in a late phase: the former is due to hydrogen peroxide, which triggers biochemical pathways on blood cells and the latter is due to alkenals which are infused into the donor patient. After undergoing a partial catabolism, alkenals enter into a great number of body's cells, where they react with Nrf2-Keap1 protein: the transfer of activated Nrf2 into the nucleus and its binding to antioxidant response element (ARE) is the crucial event able to upregulate the synthesis of antioxidant proteins, phase II enzymes and HO-1. With the progress of ozonetherapy, these protective enzymes are able to reverse the oxidative stress induced by chronic inflammation. Consequently, the repetition of graduated stresses induces a multiform adaptive response able to block the progress of the disease and to improve the quality of life.

Abstract
Ozonation of either human whole blood or saline-washed erythrocytes causes considerable damage to the latter and this result has opened a controversy. With the benefit of hindsight, it appears logical that once erythrocytes are deprived of the potent antioxidants of plasma, they become very sensitive to the oxidant effects of ozone. The aim of the present work was to perform a physical-chemical evaluation of some critical parameters able to clarify this issue. We have ascertained that when whole blood is exposed to the appropriate ozone doses used in human therapy, no damage ensues while saline-washed erythrocytes undergo conspicuous haemolysis. The dogma that ozone is always toxic is incorrect because its reactivity below the concentration of 80mug/mL can be controlled by the plasmatic antioxidant system.

Abstract
Cholesterol ozonation was carried out in ethanol-containing aqueous or nonaqueous solvent, and the ozonized products were analyzed by chemiluminescence detection-HPLC with on-line electrospray MS (HPLC-CL-MS) and characterized on the basis of NMR and FABMS. After the ozonolysis of cholesterol in water/ethanol (aqueous system) as well as in chloroform/ethanol (nonaqueous system), a unique ethoxyhydroperoxide molecule (7alpha-ethoxy-3beta-hydroxy-5alpha-B-homo-6-oxacholestane-5-hydroperoxide, termed "7alpha-ethoxy-5-OOH") appeared as main ozonation product. In addition to structural analysis, we confirmed the remarkable cytotoxicity of 7alpha-ethoxy-5-OOH toward human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells and found that its cytotoxicity is superior to that of the commonly known autoxidized cholesterol (3beta-hydroxycholest-5-ene-7-one). Hence, 7alpha-ethoxy-5-OOH is a toxic molecule of primary importance, arising during cholesterol ozonation in the presence of ethanol.

Abstract
The pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) contains substrates, e.g., ascorbic acid (AH2), uric acid (UA), glutathione (GSH), proteins, and unsaturated lipids, which undergo facile reaction with inhaled ozone (O3). Reactions near the ELF gas/liquid interface likely provide the driving force for O3 absorption ("reactive absorption") and constrain O3 diffusion to the underlying epithelium. To investigate the potential mechanisms wherein O3/ELF interactions may induce cellular damage, we utilized a red cell membrane (RCM) model intermittently covered by an aqueous film to mimic the lung surface compartmentation, and evaluated exposure-mediated loss of acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE) and TBARS accumulation. In the absence of aqueous reactants, O3 exposure induced no detectable changes in AChE or TBARS. AH2 and GSH preferentially induced oxidative damage in a dose-dependent fashion. AH2-mediated RCM oxidation was not inhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase, mannitol, or Fe chelators. O3 reaction with UA, Trolox, or albumin produced no RCM oxidation but oxidation occurred when AH2 was combined with UA or albumin. Rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) also induced RCM oxidation. However, in vivo O3 exposure dampened the extent of BALF-mediated RCM oxidation. Although we cannot completely rule out O3 diffusion to the RCM, product(s) derived from O3 + AH2/GSH reactions (possibly O3*- or 1O2) likely initiated RCM oxidation and may suggest that in vivo, such secondary species account for O3 permeation through the ELF leading to cellular perturbations.

Abstract
Ozone is an intrinsically toxic gas and its hazardous employment has led to a poor consideration of ozone therapy. The aim of this review is to indicate that a wrong dogma and several misconceptions thwart progress: in reality, properly performed ozone therapy, carried out by expert physicians, can be very useful when orthodox medicine appears inadequate. The unbelievable versatility of ozone therapy is due to the cascade of ozone-derived compounds able to act on several targets leading to a multifactorial correction of a pathological state. During the past decade, contrary to all expectations, it has been demonstrated that the judicious application of ozone in chronic infectious diseases, vasculopathies, orthopedics and even dentistry has yielded such striking results that it is deplorable that the medical establishment continues to ignore ozone therapy.

Abstract
Research on the effects of ozone on agricultural crops and agro-ecosystems is needed for the development of regional emission reduction strategies, to underpin practical recommendations aiming to increase the sustainability of agricultural land management in a changing environment, and to secure food supply in regions with rapidly growing populations. Major limitations in current knowledge exist in several areas: (1) Modelling of ozone transfer and specifically stomatal ozone uptake under variable environmental conditions, using robust and well-validated dynamic models that can be linked to large-scale photochemical models lack coverage. (2) Processes involved in the initial reactions of ozone with extracellular and cellular components after entry through the stomata, and identification of key chemical species and their role in detoxification require additional study. (3) Scaling the effects from the level of individual cells to the whole-plant requires, for instance, a better understanding of the effects of ozone on carbon transport within the plant. (4) Implications of long-term ozone effects on community and whole-ecosystem level processes, with an emphasis on crop quality, element cycling and carbon sequestration, and biodiversity of pastures and rangelands require renewed efforts. The UNECE Convention on Long Range Trans-boundary Air Pollution shows, for example, that policy decisions may require the use of integrated assessment models. These models depend on quantitative exposure-response information to link quantitative effects at each level of organization to an effective ozone dose (i.e., the balance between the rate of ozone uptake by the foliage and the rate of ozone detoxification). In order to be effective in a policy, or technological context, results from future research must be funnelled into an appropriate knowledge transfer scheme. This requires data synthesis, up-scaling, and spatial aggregation. At the research level, interactions must be considered between the effects of ozone and factors that are either directly manipulated by man through crop management, or indirectly changed. The latter include elevated atmospheric CO(2), particulate matter, other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, UV-B radiation, climate and associated soil moisture conditions.

Abstract
The product of the ozonolysis of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in ethanol-containing solvent was analyzed by chemiluminescence detection-HPLC with on-line electrospray MS, and characterized on the basis of NMR spectroscopy and MS in high-resolution fast atom bombardment mode. The reaction yielded a large amount of a novel ethoxyhydroperoxide compound [1-palmitoyl-2-(9-ethoxy-9-hydroperoxynonanoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphcholinel. In addition to a structural analysis, we speculate on the reaction pathway and discuss the possibility of ethoxyhydroperoxide as a potentially reactive ozonized lipid in food and biological materials.

Abstract
Ozone (O(3)), a major component of urban air pollution, is a strong oxidizing agent that can cause lung injury and inflammation. In the present study, we investigated the effect of inhalation of O(3) on levels of F(2)-isoprostanes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and on levels of antioxidants in the BALF and plasma of hamsters. Because antioxidants, including urate, ascorbate, GSH, and vitamin E, defend the lungs by reacting with oxidizing agents, we expected to find a decrease in antioxidant levels after O(3) exposure. Similarly, we expected an increase in the levels of F(2)-isoprostanes, which are lipid peroxidation products. Exposure to 1.0 or 3.0 parts/million (ppm) O(3) for 6 h resulted in an increase in BALF neutrophil numbers, an indicator of acute inflammation, as well as elevation of BALF F(2)-isoprostanes. The higher dose of O(3) caused an increase in the BALF level of urate and a decrease in the plasma level of ascorbate, but 1.0 ppm O(3) had no effect on BALF or plasma antioxidant levels. Exposure to 0.12 ppm O(3) had no effect on BALF neutrophils or F(2)-isoprostanes nor on BALF and plasma antioxidants. We also investigated the effect of O(3) exposure of hamsters during exercise on F(2)-isoprostane and antioxidant levels. We found that exposure to 1.0 ppm O(3) during 1 h of exercise on a laddermill increased BALF levels of F(2)-isoprostanes but had no effect on BALF neutrophils or on BALF and plasma antioxidants. These results indicate that O(3) induces inflammation and biomolecule oxidation in the lungs, whereas extracellular antioxidant levels are relatively unchanged.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that inhaled ozone (O3) does not induce toxicity via direct epithelial interactions. Reactions with epithelial lining fluid (ELF) constituents limit cellular contact and generate products, including lipid ozonation products, postulated to initiate pathophysiological cascades. To delineate specific aspects of lipid ozonation product formation and to estimate in situ surface concentrations, we studied the O3 absorption characteristics of ELF constituent mixtures and measured hexanal, heptanal, and nonanal yields as a function of ascorbic acid (AH2) concentration. Exposures of isolated rat lungs, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and egg phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes were conducted. 1) O3 absorption by AH2, uric acid, and albumin exceeded that by egg PC and glutathione. O3 reaction with egg PC occurred when AH2 concentrations were reduced. 2) Aldehydes were produced in low yield during lung and BALF exposures in a time- and O3 concentration-dependent manner. 3) Diminishing BALF AH2 content lowered O3 uptake but increased aldehyde yields. Conversely, AH2 addition to egg PC increased O3 uptake but reduced aldehyde yields. Estimations of bioactive ozonation and autoxidation product accumulation within the ELF suggested possible nanomolar to low micromolar concentrations. The use of reaction products as metrics of O3 exposure may have intrinsic sensitivity and specificity limitations. Moreover, due to the heterogenous nature of O3 reactions within the ELF, dose-response relationships may not be linear with respect to O3 absorption.
