Radicals and Foreign Airborne Substances
Elisabeth Spinelli de Oliveira (University of São Paulo, Brazil)
Danilo Wilhelm Filho (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, Brazil)

This symposium will focus on reactive oxygen species and other foreign
particles, and the mechanisms by which plants or animals protect themselves
from damage at the cellular and organismic level. Since respiratory organs
are the largest body surface to contact the environment, the ways in which
lungs deal with foreign air-born substances are also of crucial interest.
