Zusammenfassung:	A method of treating a subject suffering from, or susceptible to, a condition that can be ameliorated by inhalation of gaseous nitrite comprises the use of an apparatus comprising an activating unit that includes a photosensitiser excitable by absorption of light to excite oxygen to a singlet state, and a light source arranged to illuminate the photosensitiser. Air is caused to flow through the activating unit while the photosensitiser is illuminated by the light source, and after passing through the activating unit, is directed to the respiratory tract of the subject.
