University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 163:356-61. 2001..22% to 1.85%). Our results suggest that FVC, FEV1, and FEF25-75 vary with the daily level of NO2, TSP, and O3, but that these measures of lung function do not allow separation of the effects of particulates from those of NO2...
