Gender may play role in recovery from pneumonia after ozone exposure
Does air pollution have a bigger effect on the immune system of females than males? It did among mice exposed to ozone -- a major component in air pollution that is known to negatively affect lung function -- and then infected with pneumonia, as significantly more females died from the infection than males. view more (2007-06-26)

High pollution may increase SARS death rate
Air pollution is associated with an increased risk of dying from SARS, according to a report published this week in Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. The study shows that patients with SARS are more than twice as likely to die from the disease if they come from areas where pollution levels are high. 5,327 cases of SARS have... view more...
