Objective:
The main objective of this research project is to use in situ continuous respiratory and total deposition measurement to develop a new regional deposition model.
Progress Summary:
Original Center activities focused on the development of theoretical models used to predict PM deposition as a function of size (Tsuda, et al., 2002). Subsequently, a series of human ambient particle deposition studies were conducted. The total deposition fraction of fine and ultra-fine aerosols was measured in a group of six healthy adults exposed to Boston ambient particles. The deposition efficiency of particles ranging from 40 to 2,045 nm was determined using the average concentration of inhaled and exhaled particles measured during these cycles. Deposition efficiencies ranged between 7.3 ± 18.7 percent (for particles 168-195 nm) and 98.6 ± 28.1 percent (for particles 1545-2045 nm). Subjects exhibited similar deposition patterns with a minimum efficiency in the size range of 100-200 nm. Results from ANOVA and mixed model regression analyses, suggested that deposition efficiency varied with individual and particle size. Deposition efficiencies varied mostly among subjects for particles in the size range between 100 and 1,000 nm.

A manuscript has been submitted for publication (Montoya, et al., 2003). No additional deposition studies have been planned.
