...that would supply an earthlike atmosphere of roughly 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen, would substantially reduce-but not eliminate entirely-the risk of catastrophic fires. It would also do away with some of the known, adverse physiological effects of exposure to pure oxygen: eye irritation, hearing loss, clogged chest, and possibly other painful symptoms not yet known to doctors...
Arsenic & Heart Disease. Ozone and PAN produce the eye irritation, coughing and chest soreness experienced by many Los Angeles residents on smoggy days. In laboratory experiments, continuous exposure to ozone shortened the lives of guinea pigs. Scientists have also calculated that a child born in New York City after World War II has now inhaled the pollution equivalent of smoking nine cigarettes per day every day of his life. Like those in cigarettes, some of the hydrocarbons identified in automobile exhausts have produced cancer in laboratory animals...

For three years, poor Nahed and the rest of the country's belly dancers had been all wrapped up by the government's distinctly un-Faroukian rules of decency, which flatly decreed costumes that "covered the chest, stomach and back and had no slits or openings on the sides or elsewhere."
