A new aerosol deposition model integrates with physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for risk assessments of inhaled substances. This advancement enables PBPK models to analyze aerosols, not just gases and vapors.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Toxicology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models traditionally analyze inhaled gases and vapors.
  • Risk assessments for aerosolized materials using PBPK models were previously limited.
  • A need existed for a model to predict aerosol deposition within the respiratory tract for PBPK analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an aerosol deposition model for integration into PBPK frameworks.
  • To enable PBPK-based risk assessments for inhaled aerosols.
  • To enhance the capability of PBPK models in simulating respiratory exposures.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a semi-empirical equation for extrathoracic aerosol deposition.
  • Incorporated lung geometry data for thoracic conducting airways and gas exchange regions.

  • Calculated deposited aerosol mass considering diffusion, sedimentation, and impaction for polydisperse aerosols.
  • Accounted for time-varying aerosol properties and respiration variations, including CO2 stimulation.

    • Main Results:

    • The aerosol deposition model was successfully integrated into PBPK models.
    • Model predictions showed good agreement with existing calculations and experimental data, validating its accuracy.
    • Demonstrated the model's utility through an example comparing two distinct inhalation atmospheres.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed aerosol deposition model significantly expands the applicability of PBPK models for aerosolized substance risk assessment.
    • This model provides a robust tool for evaluating respiratory exposures to aerosols in various settings, including toxicity studies and product testing.
    • The integration facilitates more comprehensive and accurate human health risk evaluations for inhaled aerosols.
