ozone exposure triggers fast-repairing DNA lesions in white blood cells, not strand breaks
Ozone-induced DNA damage in leukocytes is likely dominated by base and pentose oxidations rather than double-strand breaks, based on the short recovery time observed.
What this means for you
Your body repairs different types of cellular damage at very different speeds. The finding that ozone-related DNA changes in immune cells resolve quickly — and appear to involve simpler oxidative lesions rather than more serious strand breaks — suggests the cellular stress response is manageable and short-lived. That's a meaningful distinction when thinking about recovery and resilience.
