Increases in air pollution are associated with increases in deaths from cardiovascular disease, but the investigators know little about how ozone air pollution affects the cardiovascular system. The investigators proposed study will determine the effects of ozone on blood vessel and heart function that could worsen illness in people with underlying heart disease. This will be accomplished by studying healthy volunteers who inhale ozone in a controlled clinical study, and also by studying their exposure to ozone and other pollutants during their normal daily activities. The investigators will study volunteers who may be at increased risk for the effects of ozone because of genetic susceptibility. Understanding the effects of ozone on the heart and circulation can help establish appropriate air pollution standards, and provide strategies to protect the most susceptible people.

| Ozone | Other | All subjects will have a 3-hour exposure to clean air, a 3-hour exposure to clean air with lower ozone (0.1 ppm), and a 3-hour exposure to clean air with higher ozone (0.2 ppm). Exposures will take place at least 3 weeks apart. Order of exposure will be randomized for each subject. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Nitric oxide bioavailability | We hypothesize that systemic vascular effects of exposure to ozone will be reflected in reductions in arterial blood nitrite or its A/V gradient. This will require simultaneous collection of venous and arterial blood. | Before and 3 hours after ozone exposure |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence of endothelial injury | We hypothesize that systemic vascular effects of exposure to ozone will alter markers of vascular function and inflammation. Flow cytometry will be used to detect activated platelets and pro-coagulant circulating microparticles. | Before and 3 hours after ozone exposure |
