A study was made of the ciliar tracheal epithelium on passerine birds and small mammals subjected to NOx, SO2 emissions and particulates from a coal-fired power plant. The results were compared to those of a non-polluted area, very similar in vegetation, relief, and climatology. We studied Carduelis carduelis (goldfinch), Emberiza cia (rock bunting), Parus major (great tit), Turdus merula (blackbird), and Apodemus sylvaticus (wood mouse). All animals were captured in the wild. We also used goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) captured in the wild and mice (Mus musculus) from our laboratory. These species were placed in protected cages near the source of pollution for 5 and 12 months. The images of the tracheal epithelium surface and the observation of tracheal sections at transmission and scanning electron microscopy showed a variation in the percentage of ciliated and non-ciliated cells, and a variation in the organization, orientation, and morphology of the cilia in animals from the polluted zone.
对受燃煤电厂氮氧化物、二氧化硫排放物及颗粒物影响的雀形目鸟类和小型哺乳动物的气管纤毛上皮进行了研究。将结果与植被、地形和气候条件非常相似的无污染地区的结果进行了比较。我们研究了黄雀、岩鹨、大山雀、乌鸫和林姬鼠。所有动物均在野外捕获。我们还使用了在野外捕获的黄雀以及实验室的小鼠。将这些物种放置在靠近污染源的保护笼中5至12个月。气管上皮表面的图像以及透射和扫描电子显微镜下气管切片的观察结果显示，污染区动物的纤毛细胞和非纤毛细胞百分比存在差异，纤毛的组织、方向和形态也存在差异。
