A model for deposition of fibers in the human respiratory system
American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal
|February 11, 1976
Abstract:
A mathematical model for estimating lung deposition of fibers is described. It is based on the aerodynamic behavior of thin straight rods. Predicted deposition values for rods of various equivalent aerodynamic diameters and lengths, for each of three tidal volumes and for each of three respiratory system compartments are reported.
