    Human airway models vary significantly between individuals. Understanding this variability is crucial for accurate occupational hazard assessments and inhalation toxicology modeling.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Physiology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Current morphometric models of the human tracheobronchial tree rely on limited data from few individuals and labs.
    • There is a need to understand intersubject variability in airway dimensions and branching patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify intersubject and intrasubject variability in human tracheobronchial tree morphometrics.
    • To assess the relationship between inter- and intrasubject variability in airway geometry.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of airway lengths, diameters, and branching angles.
    • Utilized solid casts of the upper bronchial trees from a series of human lungs.

    Main Results:

    • Significant differences in tracheobronchial tree morphometrics were observed between different subjects.

  • Demonstrated substantial intersubject variability in airway dimensions and branching.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intersubject variability in human airway morphology is significant.
    • Both inter- and intrasubject variabilities must be considered in occupational and environmental hazard evaluations.
    • Accounting for variability is essential for accurate extrapolation and modeling of inhalation toxicologic data.
