Size-dependent retention of elongate mineral particles in human lungs: modeling and implications for risk assessment
The observed data for size-specific lung deposition of elongate mineral particles can be used for quantitative estimates of risk and analysis of toxicokinetic processes in human lungs. The difference between theoretical model and observed fiber deposition pattern requires further adjustments in the methods to predict lung deposition of elongate particles.
