[The state of the atmosphere and bronchial hypersensitivity].
A bronchial provocative test employing acetylcholine revealed an excess in the numbers of the hypersensitive persons living under ecologic health hazard conditions, of 3,5-fold, which fact permits recommending it to be used in population studies to identify and administer prophylaxis of obstructive lung diseases in a timely fashion. Hypersensitivity of the bronchi in those people living under ecologic health hazard conditions is accompanied by an activation of peroxidation processes as well as changes in the parameters associated with the immune response.
