Sample Abstract

THE EFFECT OF SULFUR DIOXIDE ON PROTEIN CONCENTRATION IN HUMAN EYES.  John Jones, ENV ENG; Environmental Protection Agency, Trenton, NJ.

A major portion of the author's cooperative education assignment at EPA was utilized researching the harmful effects of air pollutants on human health, repeatedly seen during air pollution episodes.  The physiological effects on the eyes are commonly experienced as excessive tearing, dry eye, and eye irritation. 

Because tears are secretory discharge, it is likely that a change in the composition of the tears may be the result of the changes in the condition of eye tissues.  Sulfur dioxide, one of the primary pollutants and a constituent of smog, has been chosen for this study.  Tear samples from female New Zealand white rabbits were collected from the inner medial puncta of the eye with the use of ten microliter capillary pipettes.  Tear protein concentration was determined using fluorescence spectrophotometry.  We have found that a period of adaptation for the test animals to the environmental chamber is essential.  Certain environmental factors allow a steady range of protein concentration to be established so that any significant deviations can be observed from the exposure to sulfur dioxide.  The rabbits were exposed to high levels of sulfur dioxide (18-24) with essentially no change noted at low concentrations (3-6 ppm).  Research supported in part by NIH Grant 5-S06-R08101-09.                  Dates of Co-op Assignment:  January - July 2010
