Acute respiratory effects were also observed in cattle at the famous Smith-field Club Livestock Show in London. The death rate was highest for the prize cattle, which were well cared for and had their litter promptly removed. The death rate was lower in the cattle that were not so well cared for. Presnmably, ammonia prodnced by microbes acting on the excreta had a beneficial effect in neutralizing snlfur oxides and sulfuric acid in the pollnted air. Other pollution episodes were observed in London and served as a major stimnlns to institntion of control measnres. Air pollution episodes with serious effects were not restricted to Europe. In October 1948, a period of particularly calm and stable meteorology,... 

Some nonmalignant respiratory effects have been observed in experimental animals during acute or subchronic exposures. Soluble and moderately soluble compounds were more toxic than were insoluble compounds and produced different effects. Sulfate and subsulftde produced fibrosis whereas nickel oxide did not. 

In low doses, inhaled NO may have a beneficial therapeutic effect, since NO in the inspired air leads to pulmonary vasodilation. In persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, NO inhalation has already been used with some success. NO inhalation as the treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome, however, has been disappointing. Only transient improvements of oxygenation were detected and the outcome of placebo-controlled trials did not show any improvement... 

Respiratory Effects. Pulmonary edema was reported in humans dying from acute methyl parathion (Wofatox) intoxication (Fazekas 1971). Edema was found in a man who died 2 hours after intoxication, and, in other cases, edema was found in others who died as long as 9 days after exposure. Broncho-constriction and hypersecretion of bronchial glands (bronchorrhea) are primary muscarinic effects of methyl parathion. The broncoconstriction, bronchorrhea, and bradycardia caused by methyl parathion are strongly conducive to pulmonary edema. 

Helicase has also been a focal point for the development of antiviral chemotherapy of the coronavirus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in humans. Although several experimental compounds with nucleic acid binding activity showing effective inhibition of SARS-CoV helicase were reported in 2005, there have been no reports of any further development since that time (Kesel 2005). It remains to be seen whether the S ARS-CoV compounds will be developed further, especially since no new infections have been observed in recent years.
