Aerosol Transport in a Model of Human Lungs
Original language description
Complex flow structures emerging in human lungs significantly affect deposition of inhaled particles. Therefore flow measurements alongside with deposition measurements have to be performed on the same model geometry. Amount of deposited aerosol particles in different regions of lungs could be measured by several methods. Gamma detection of radioactive tagged particles is subjected to strict regulations and is expensive; gravimetry and fluorometry are thus preferred in current studies. Novel methodologyfor fluorometric measurement of aerosol transport in models of human lungs was developed. Some previously published experiments were performed using condensation of di(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DEHS) vapours on fluorescein nuclei. Their authors assumed that fluorescein is necessary for generation of fluorescent particles and they neglected possible fluorescence of DEHS itself. Our analysis of DEHS characteristics indicated that DEHS fluorescence could be detected apart in sufficient rate
