Ozone and Rats Lungs

by Tariq

I saw somewhere that when rats were administered ozone they got pulmonary odema, then the ozone treatment was stopped! Once the rats got well again it was restarted, but this time the rats remained healthy throughout the experiment.

Did this experiment really happen and if so what does it mean for us today?

Also rats were chosen for the experiment because they have very fragile and sensitive lungs so quickly showed up any effects. Thanks
