Absorption of gases in the respiratory tract / C.N. Davies

Sumario: Foreing gases contaminating the inhaled air are absorbed in the respiratory tract by diffusion of their molecules to the surfaces of the airways. Formulae are presented for calculating the saturation vapours concentrations and diffusion coefficients, when experimental values are not available, and a number of values are listed. Large molecules diffuse exactly like single particles. Finally, the contrating behavoir of seven different gases, when inhaled, is accounted for in terms of the basic principles described in the preceding parts of the paper
