Measurements with a body plethysmograph of lung function parameters and reports of unusual complaints or irritations were taken from 41 senior citizens in the situations where they usually spend their daytime hours. The subjects belonged to a group commonly assumed to be at risk from ozone. Each subject was examined on 8 days both in the morning and in the afternoon. The object was to obtain for every subject an equal distribution of measuring days between those with elevated ozone concentrations (maximum 0.5 h mean values between 1.00 and 4.00 p.m. of at least 0.050 ppm) and those with low ozone concentrations (maximum 0.5 h mean values between 1.00 and 4.00 p.m. of at most 0.040 ppm). The results showed no relevant ozone related effects on the lung function parameters or the subjective reports of irritations. Thus there was no indication that senior citizens represent a group at particular risk with respect to moderately elevated concentrations of environmental ozone, as occur in central Europe.
使用体容积描记器对41名老年人在其日常白天活动场所进行了肺功能参数测量，并记录了异常症状或刺激反应报告。这些受试者属于通常被认为易受臭氧影响的群体。每位受试者在上午和下午各接受8天的检查。目的是让每位受试者在臭氧浓度升高（下午1点至4点间0.5小时平均浓度至少为0.050 ppm的最大值）和臭氧浓度较低（下午1点至4点间0.5小时平均浓度至多为0.040 ppm的最大值）的测量日中实现均等分布。结果显示，臭氧对肺功能参数或刺激反应的主观报告没有相关影响。因此，没有迹象表明，在中欧出现的环境臭氧浓度适度升高的情况下，老年人是特别易受影响的群体。
