Epidemiological investigations suggest a link between exposure to indoor air chemicals and adverse health effects. Consumer products contain reactive chemicals which can form secondary pollutants which may contribute to these effects. The reaction of limonene and ozone is a well characterized example of this type of indoor air chemistry. The studies described here characterize an in vitro model using an epithelial cell line (A549) or differentiated epithelial tissue (MucilAir™). The model is used to investigate adverse effects following exposure to combinations of limonene and ozone. In A549 cells, exposure to both the parent compounds and reaction products resulted in alterations in inflammatory cytokine production. A one hour exposure to limonene+ozone resulted in decreased proliferation when compared to cells exposed to limonene alone. Repeated dose exposures of limonene or limonene+ozone were conducted on MucilAir™ tissue. No change in proliferation was observed but increases in cytokine production were observed for both the parent compounds and reaction products. Factors such as exposure duration, chemical concentration, and sampling time point were identified to influence result outcome. These findings suggest that exposure to reaction products may produce more severe effects compared to the parent compound.

流行病学调查表明,暴露于室内空气化学品与不良健康影响之间存在联系。消费品中含有可形成二次污染物的反应性化学物质,可能会导致这些影响。柠檬烯和臭氧的反应是这种室内空气化学的一个很好的例子。此处描述的研究表征了使用上皮细胞系 (A549) 或分化的上皮组织 (粘液) 的体外模型。™)。该模型用于研究暴露于柠檬烯和臭氧组合后的不利影响。在A549细胞中,暴露于母体化合物和反应产物会导致炎性细胞因子产生的改变。与单独暴露于柠檬烯的细胞相比,暴露于柠檬烯臭氧一小时导致增殖减少。在粘液上重复剂量暴露柠檬烯或柠檬烯臭氧™组织。未观察到增殖的变化,但观察到母体化合物和反应产物的细胞因子产生增加。确定了诸如暴露时间,化学浓度和采样时间点之类的因素会影响结果。这些发现表明,与母体化合物相比,暴露于反应产物可能会产生更严重的影响。
