| Abstract | Experiments have been made to measure the deposition of radioactive monodisperse polystyrene particles of size between 1 and 10 μm dia. aspirated through the nose and mouth at known flow-rates. The arrangements permitted the pressure difference across the nose and mouth to be determined as deposition occurred. When, for particles of the same size, deposition is plotted against flow-rate there is considerable scatter in the results. A much closer relationship is found with the pressure difference. |
