Abstract
A mathematical model of retention of insoluble aerosol particles penetrating the lungs during inhalation has been described. Based on data of the streams of deposited particles and their residence times in the subsequent generations of the respiratory system - due to different mechanisms of clearance - the retention dynamics of particles has been determined. The influence of particle concentration and particle toxicity on retention is considered.
