One of the most common outdoor air pollutants is Ozone (O3) that forms in the Earth's atmosphere, both naturally and by reactions of man-made air pollutants. A growing set of data have demonstrated a close correlation between exposure to different air pollutants and multiple adverse effects in different organs and tissues, such as lung, cardiovascular system, skin and central nervous system (CNS). We examined in two species of male mice, whether O3 could alters olfactory behavior and cellular properties in the olfactory system. For this purpose, mice were exposed to O3 at a concentration foun
