Summary

This study will examine the extent to which lower doses of a broccoli-derived beverage enhance the detoxication of air pollutants excreted in urine as compared to an maximal dose shown to be effective previously.

Detailed description

This is a 10-day placebo control Phase II broccoli sprout intervention to be conducted in Qidong, P.R. China. Up to twelve hundred people from the farming townships will be screened and one hundred seventy eligible individuals will be enrolled in the study.
