Fiber Deposition in Realistic Human Nasal Airway Models
Original language description
Fibrous materials, such as MMVFs (man-made vitreous fibers), are widely used in thermal and electrical insulation, weatherproofing, and filtration media. These materials can be released as airborne respirable particles during their production and use. Airborne asbestos and other fibers can cause lung diseases including asbestosis, fibrosis and lung cancer. Thus mass production and wide use of these materials has raised concern over the potential health hazard to production employees associated with inhalable aerosolized fibers. A narrow length distribution of fibers was generated using dielectrophoretic classification. Dielectrophoresis is the motion of neutral matter in a nonuniform electric field due to an induced dipole moment. It is sensitive to the conductivity of the matter in the field. A fiber classifier was used to study the influence of atmosphere humidity on the behavior of glass fibers. Physical models of human nasal passages were developed from MRI files by using Gambit an
