The'blplogical effectiveness of an oiddant-type air pollution mixture was determined from the inhibition In growth of E. coll following exposure to the pollution mixture. Abeorpcioo la phosphate buffer aod adsorpt&ooooTa column of C-22 Firebrick coated with 20 f* (w./w.)dl* sodium phosphate appeared to remove cdntpletaly the effective components. Both agents re- . . moved a pan of the oxidant material ae determined by the phenolphthalln method. The material absorbed In the phosphate buffer markedly inhibited the oxygen consumption of leukocytes ex posed to it. The buffer completely removed the ee yet unidentified 302-millimicron absorbing material- However, the apparent concentration in the buffer did net correspond to the apparsss concentration Us the get. ?ne can suggested tons tee SCl-mdimltrae absorbing material con tained a tlolojieiUy effective agent, which might be peroxvacetyi nitrate. - Author's abet.
