  1. DLS measurements in AEGM and SAGM were combined with aggregate density (ρagg) derived from the volumetric centrifugation method, and volume-weighted hydrodynamic diameter (d(Vol-weighted)) in the Distorted Grid Model to derive the depositional efficiency of particle sedimentation into the in vitro cellular microenvironment averaged over a 72 h exposure
