Acute Controlled Wood Smoke Exposure Induces Sensory Airway Irritation Without Detectable Changes in Small Airway Mechanics in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Crossover Study.
BACKGROUND Residential wood combustion is a major source of ambient particulate matter in Northern Europe and is associated with adverse respiratory health outcomes. However, the acute effects of short-term wood smoke exposure on small airways remain incompletely characterized. OBJECTIVE To investigate the acute effe...
