A “full-field” method to calculate the received sub-micron particle surface area dose was proposed and tested. In absolute terms, it was found that ignoring real life variations of inhalation rates, time-activity patterns and particle number concentrations lead to a general underestimation of the received dose.

Abstract

A “full-field” method to calculate the received sub-micron particle surface area dose was proposed and tested. In absolute terms, it was found that ignoring real life variations of inhalation rates, time-activity patterns and particle number concentrations lead to a general underestimation of the received dose.
