Lung inflammation, caused by acute exposure to ozone (O), one of the six criteria air pollutants, is a significant source of morbidity in susceptible individuals. Alveolar macrophages (AMØs) are the most abundant immune cells in the normal lung, and their number increases after O exposure. However, the role of AMØs in promoting or limiting O-induced lung inflammation has not been clearly defined.
