“…Although health impacts of ozone have been less investigated than of PM, existing studies in Europe and beyond (e.g. Mudway and Kelly, 2000;Gryparis et al, 2004;Bell et al, 2005Bell et al, , 2006Ito et al, 2005;Levy et al, 2005) show convincing, though small, positive associations between daily mortality and ozone levels, independent of the effects of PM (see Fig. 11).…”

a b s t r a c tEmissions from land transport, and from road transport in particular, have significant impacts on the atmosphere and on climate change. This assessment gives an overview of past, present and future emissions from land transport, of their impacts on the atmospheric composition and air quality, on human health and climate change and on options for mitigation.In the past vehicle exhaust emission control has successfully reduced emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds and particulate matter. This contributed to improved air quality and reduced health impacts in industrialised countries. In developing countries however, pollutant emissions have been growing strongly, adversely affecting many populations. In addition, ozone and particulate matter change the radiative balance and hence contribute to global warming on shorter time scales. Latest knowledge on the magnitude of land transport's impact on global warming is reviewed here.In the future, road transport's emissions of these pollutants are expected to stagnate and then decrease globally. This will then help to improve the air quality notably in developing countries. On the contrary, emissions of carbon dioxide and of halocarbons from mobile air conditioners have been globally increasing and are further expected to grow. Consequently, road transport's impact on climate is gaining in importance. The expected efficiency improvements of vehicles and the introduction of biofuels will not be sufficient to offset the expected strong growth in both, passenger and freight transportation. Technical measures could offer a significant reduction potential, but strong interventions would be needed as markets do not initiate the necessary changes. Further reductions would need a resolute expansion of low-carbon fuels, a tripling of vehicle fuel efficiency and a stagnation in absolute transport volumes. Land transport will remain a key sector in climate change mitigation during the next decades.

“…Risk estimates on ozone related mortality are higher in the warmer season. Temperature plays a significant role in the magnitude of the coefficients [30,31,32]. A meta-analysis on 95 US urban communities studies showed that a 20 lg/m increase in 1 h maximum ozone was associated with a 0.39% increase (95% CI 0.26-0.51) in all-cause mortality.…”

“…A series of meta-analyses and evaluation of geographic and seasonal O 3 gas-related risk has provided evidence for the association between O 3 gas and mortality (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). As O 3 inhalation is accompanied by dangerous side-effects and since O 3 is a gas, its benefits are limited.…”

Abstract. Previous studies have suggested that ozonated water is safe and possesses antibacterial effects for treatment of experimental peritonitis rats. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of ozonated water that was intraperitoneally injected into an experimental inflammatory mouse model. The concentrations of dissolved ozone decreased constantly and lineally, while the half-life of dissolved ozone was 36.8±2.7 min (27˚C). The 10-ppm ozonated water was injected intraperitoneally into mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute inflammation. The results showed that the intraperitoneal injection of ozonated water decreased the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The results suggest that ozonated water has anti-inflammatory properties and is a potential therapeutic option for acute inflammation.

Associations Between Ozone and Daily Mortality

Abstract: Overall, the results suggest short-term associations between ozone and daily mortality in the majority of the cities, although the estimates appear to be heterogeneous across cities.
