In order to investigate the influence of photochemical smog upon the upper respiratory systems of humans, long-term examinations were made on junior high school students in urban districts. Objective methods were devised for better description of the color of the mucosa as well as for evaluating olfactory functions. Examinations were made on the day of photochemi- cal smog and the results were compared with those obtained before and after the smog season. The results were as follows; 1) On inspection of the nose and throat, no specific findings were noticed on the day of photo- chemical smog. 2) Color analysis of the nasal mucosa on the day of photochemical smog showed that there was a tendency toward decrease in "chroma". 3) No abnormalities were found in olfactory function on the day of photochemical smog.
