Abstract
A computational model to predict deposition of a wide variety of particulate pollutants in several species of mammals is presented. The model incorporates breathing pattern and detailed anatomical models of the respiratory tract based on extensive morphometric measurements of individual airways. The predicted deposition from this general model is in close agreement with observed deposition of monodisperse aerosols in rats. Particle size and density and respiratory breathing patterns are the critical parameters affecting regional deposition.
