A model for deposition of stable and unstable aerosols in the human respiratory tract

Abstract

A model has been developed for deposition of stable and unstable aerosols in the human respiratory tract. This model has the advantages of employing a realistic asymmetric lung model and utilizing actual breath curves. Results from the model are presented for normal and abnormal breath patterns for both stable and unstable particles. Insofar as comparison is possible, agreement between model calculations and experiment appears to be reasonable.
