Abstract
Solid and liquid aerosols in the atmosphere originate from both natural and industrial sources. Inhalation of these aerosols from the ambient air results in the introduction and deposition of various particulate substances in the human respiratory tract, creating a potential health hazard. The assessment of this hazard and appropriate countermeasures to be taken require understanding and estimation of the local and regional deposition of inhaled particles in the respiratory tract.
