This is a randomized controlled human exposure study. Investigators aim to investigate the products of ozone-sebum reactions and their acute effects on skin health of healthy young adults.
The investigators will conduct a randomized, controlled human exposure study involving 40 healthy young adults in Shanghai, China. Each participant will have both forearms simultaneously exposed-one in a clean air chamber and the other in an ozone chamber-for 2 hours. The ozone concentration at the ozone chamber inlet will be maintained at 200 ppb. The temperature and relative humidity in both chambers will be maintained at 27±2℃ and 45%±5%, respectively. Health examinations will be conducted at three time points: immediately before exposure, immediately after exposure, and 24 hours after exposure. These examinations will include skin measurements and sampling.
