Reliability Study Of The Technique To Assess Upper Respiratory Airway Inflammation In A Polluted Environment: 1695
  Airway inflammation can be detected by an increased influx of inflammatory cells, such as neutrophils, as well as increased expression of inflammatory markers, which include interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Clara cell protein (CC16). When an individual is exercising in a polluted environment, it is useful to be able to assess these variables with a reliable technique. Some of these techniques, such as bronchial biopsies and brochoalveolar lavage, though frequently used, are relatively invasive procedures. The nasal lavage technique (NL), on the other hand, is a simple and relatively noninvasive procedure that samples the upper respiratory airway
