The role of O exposure and physical activity status on redox state, inflammation, and pulmonary toxicity of young men: A cross-sectional study.

The exposure to traffic-related air pollutants, such as NO and O, are associated with detrimental health effects, becoming one of the greatest public health issues worldwide. Exercising in polluted environments could result in harmful outcomes for health and may blunt the physiological adaptations of exercise training. This study aimed to investigate the influence of physical activity and O exposure on redox status, an inflammatory marker, response to stress, and pulmonary toxicity of healthy young individuals.
