The purpose of the study is to better understand the mechanisms of lung injury from ozone exposure. Subjects will participate in two exposure sessions: filtered air and 0.2 ppm ozone. The exposure visits will be at least 2 weeks apart. Subjects will be asked to produce sputum through coughing after each exposure. The samples will be analyzed for macrophage activity.
