The surface activity and rheological changes induced in lung surfactant resulting from ozone exposure
Lung surfactant is a complex mixture of phospholipids and membrane proteins that is located on the surface of alveoli within our lungs. Lung surfactant reduces the work associated with respiration and prevents the collapse of the alveoli sacs during , breathing. The function of lung surfactant depen...
