This paper describes the aerosol regional doses deposited in the human respiratory system in a traffic environment. Cumulative and instant doses are calculated for submicrometric and ultrafine particles (UFPs) deposited in the lobes of the lung described by a stochastic model (60th percentile). After 1 h exposure about 6.6×1010 particles, almost entirely UFPs, are deposited into the respiratory system. Particles are preferentially deposited in right than in left lung lobes.

Abstract
This paper describes the aerosol regional doses deposited in the human respiratory system in a traffic environment. Cumulative and instant doses are calculated for submicrometric and ultrafine particles (UFPs) deposited in the lobes of the lung described by a stochastic model (60th percentile). After 1 h exposure about 6.6×1010 particles, almost entirely UFPs, are deposited into the respiratory system. Particles are preferentially deposited in right than in left lung lobes.File in questo prodotto:
