We examined the effect of altering mouthpiece diameter to 1.5, 2.0, and 2.7 cm on the deposition efficiency of inertial size particles (2, 4, and 8 microm) in adult human oral-pharyngeal-laryngeal (OPL) airway cast models at various inspiratory flow

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of nasal passage characteristics on anterior particle deposition during cyclical breathing. Forty healthy, nonsmoking, adult subjects participated in this study. Nasal passage characteristics suc

An idea was first introduced during the 1970s that particles cannot produce adverse health effect unless they are inhaled into the human respiratory tract. Since then several studies have been carried out to investigate the inhalable fraction of ambi

This study determined the effect of nostril dimensions, nasal passage geometry, and nasal resistance (R) on particle deposition efficiency (PDE) in 40 healthy, nonsmoking adults (24 male, 16 female) at a constant flow rate. An aerodynamic particle si

This study determined the effect of particle size, flow rate, nostril shape, and nasal passage geometry on nasal particle deposition efficiency (PDE) in ten healthy, nonsmoking adults (seven males, three females). A polydispersed (1–10-μm diameter

This paper presents measurements of the geometric shape, perimeter, and cross-sectional area of the human oral passage (from oral entrance to midtrachea) and relates them through dimensionless parameters to the depositional mass transfer of ultrafine

Experimental studies of nasal passage deposition were performed in three adult human subjects with ultrafine 218 Po aerosols to determine the inspiratory deposition efficiency of such aerosols. Constant flow rates in the range 5.9–17.51 min −1 we

Understanding the filtration efficiency of the nasal and oral airways is essential for assessing doses of inhaled particles to the extrathoracic region as well as to the lung. This paper presents in vivo measurements of nasal airway dimensions and th

Objective measures of upper respiratory function are needed to understand the effects of inhaled toxicants on the nasal passages. Acoustic rhinometry (AR) is a simple new technique that determines nasal volume by measuring the cross-sectional area of

This study determined exposure-response relationships to side-stream tobacco smoke (2 hrs; 0, 1, 5, and 15 ppm CO) in 29 healthy nonsmoking young adults. Sixteen subjects had no history of environmental tobacco smoke rhinitis (ETS-NS) while 13 subjec
