Fine Particulate Matter Deposition in 3D Out-of-Plane Bifurcation Lung Airway by Chun-Chih Chuang, Justus Kavita Mutuku, Chih-Che Chueh, Anurita Selvarajoo, Wei-Hsin Chen

“…Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) produced from traffic-loaded urban areas, combustion processes during industrial processes, and dust resuspension during mechanical disturbances may cause considerable health hazards when it is inhaled, owing to an enhanced accumulation of this particulate material in the lung. While the in-plane airway structures of human lungs are usually used in numerical models, a 3D out-of-plane layout that can geometrically represent triple bifurcations airways of the so-called Weibel model is developed in the present study with the presence of fine particles inside. …”
