Ground-level ozone is a typical secondary air pollutant that is mainly formed from nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight. From 2015 to 2020, the concentration of global ozone showed an increasing trend at a rate of 0.6 µg/m3/y. Moreover, it is predicted to be rising over the next decade. At present, research investigating the impact of short-term ozone exposure to human health has mainly focused on the respiratory system. It is worth noticing that there are few reports addressing the effect of short-term ozone exposure to other tissue and organ. Moreover, the impacts of long-term ozone exposure (from months to years) on human health have also been understudied. In order to prevent the diseases stem from ozone exposure, it is of great value to systematically and comprehensively investigate the impact of ozone exposure to human health.
Based on the current situation of ozone pollution and the adverse health effects induced by it, the research topic will explore the impact of ozone exposure to human health. Based on this topic, we would like to clarify the following questions:
1. Identify the effect of short-term ozone exposure to human health;
2. Identify the effect of long-term ozone exposure to human health;
3. Describe the evolutionary processes of adverse human health for short-term to long-term exposure to ozone;
4. The biological mechanisms of ozone exposure to health.
We are especially interested in submissions on the following topics:
• Impact of short-term ozone exposure to human health.
• Impact of long-term ozone exposure to human health.
• Biological mechanisms of ozone exposure to health
• Health risk of ozone exposure.
