Breathing ozone vs. clean air at rest
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests how resting healthy adults respond to breathing low levels of ozone (a common air pollutant) compared to clean air. Researchers will measure lung function and signs of inflammation in your blood or breath.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 35 years old, in good general health.
- You must have normal lung function (tested by breathing tests).
- You cannot have a history of heart disease, asthma, diabetes, or other chronic illnesses.
- You must not be a current smoker or have smoked in the last 2 years (including vaping and hookah).
- You cannot be pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding.

This early-phase study tests how an immune-targeting treatment affects inflammation in the lungs after ozone exposure. It may help researchers understand—and eventually reduce—lung inflammation triggered by air pollution.
This trial studies how immune cells in the lungs respond after ozone exposure, to better understand lung injury. It may help researchers learn what drives inflammation and what could protect the lungs in the future.
This early trial tests whether inhaled nitric oxide changes how well your lungs exchange gases during exercise in people with COPD, and compares results with healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand lung blood-flow and breathing differences that could affect symptoms and exercise tolerance.
This study looks at how brief drops in oxygen levels during sleep affect lung function, health, and survival in people with moderate COPD. Participants will do exercise tests and have their oxygen levels monitored to better understand the disease.
This trial tests whether inhaled corticosteroids (steroid inhalers) help people with mild-to-moderate COPD breathe better in areas with higher air pollution. You may join if you have mild-to-moderate COPD, are between 40 and 80, and haven't smoked for at least six months.
This study tests whether breathing lower-oxygen air in short breaks changes how the brain and body respond. It is only for medically stable, healthy adults with specific safety screening.
