The Fate of inhaled aerosols : a review of observed trends and some generalizations / James H. Vincent

Sumario: This paper draws together the various factors which govern the fate of inhaled particulate matter, focusing primarily on insoluble material. It includes a review of some of the key relevant experimental physical data which have led to our current state of understanding about the physical processes by which particles enter the body through the nose and/or mouth during breathing and by which they may be deposited in the various regions of the respiratory tract
