INHALATION OF COLD AIR through the mouth or nose induces an immediate increase in airway resistance in normal human subjects (1-5) and in animals. (6-8) The bronchomotor response in asthmatic human subjects (2,9,10) and in sensitized animals (7) is markedly accentuated. However, in order for the cold challenge to induce a bronchospasm, the subject must either hyperventilate subfreezing air (-5[degrees]C to -40[degrees]C) through his or her mouth, (1,2,9) to push moderately fresh air (+8[degrees]C to +15[degrees]C) directly into the upper airways, (6,7) or he or she must ...
