The software is free, if ordered at our library (RIVM)
you might be charged with handling fee. CIIT also can provide copies through
Owen Price. It is not a commercial product, part has been published. The
software is already been used RIVM and other institutes for extrapolation
purposes and dose estimates for risk assessment.
This model calculates the deposition and clearance of monodisperse and
polydisperse aerosols in the respiratory tract of rats, human adults and
children (deposition only) for particles ranging from ultrafine (0.01microns) to
coarse (20 microns) sizes. The models are based upon single-path and
multiple-path methods for tracking air flow and calculating aerosol deposition
in the lung. The single-path method calculates deposition in a typical path per
airway generation, while the multiple-path method calculates particle deposition
in all airways of the lung and provides lobar-specific and airway-specific
information. Within each airway, deposition is calculated using theoretically
derived efficiencies for deposition by diffusion, sedimentation and impaction
within the airway or airway bifurcation. Filtration of aerosols by the head
(nose and mouth) is determined using empirical efficiency functions.
