• Description:
  This research seeks to better define particle inhalability, the fraction of ambient particles that are inhaled as a function of particle size, breathing conditions, and ambient air velocity and direction. Inhalation of large particles (10-1 SO micrometers) such as heavy metals, pesticides, radioactive materials, pharmaceuticals, wood dust, or corrosive materials have a local or systemic toxicity that poses a health risk regardless of where in the respiratory tract they deposit. More complete information of inhalability is needed to correctly assess the health risks of exposure to such particles. Description provided by NIOSH
