Abstrakt:	Objective: To measure the pulmonary epithelial permeability in non-smoker healthy adult individuals, establishing the normal pattern in our milieu and to correlate the findings according to age, sex, weight, height and body surface area. Method: 24 healthy non-smokers using the rate of pulmonary depuration of 99mTc-DTPA as an index of pulmonary epithelial permeability were studied. The given information was correlated to sex, age, weight, height and body surface area. Results: The averages found for the pulmonary depuration rate for 99mTc-DTPA were 0.82% +/- 0.19 min-1 for the left lung and of 0.88% +/- 0.23 min-1 for the right lung. No statistically significant relation with sex, age, weight, height and body surface area was found. Conclusion: The given data are within the interindividual variation described in the literature, in the studied age period, and must be considered as standard values among us.
