Computed fractional deposition of NP agglomerates in the rat respiratory tract. Estimated deposition fraction for the aerosols at 20 mg/m3 composed of SA or LA modeled for multiple diameters. TB = tracheobronchial; P = pulmonary. Functional residual capacity (FRC) volume 4 ml; head volume: 0.42 ml; nasal breathing route; tidal volume 2.1 ml; breathing frequency 110/min and inspiratory fraction 0.1.
