Abstract

Inhalation, deposition and exhalation of aerosol particles in the human respiratory tract are computed by the Monte Carlo code IDEAL. The random selection of the diameters, lengths and branching angles of the tubes is based on statistical analysis of the largest data base available. Deposition probabilities are determined analytically. Sensitivity of the deposited fraction to the variation of several geometrical parameters is studied.
