Effect of inhaled particle size (moderately soluble, dissolution rate of 1 × 10−6 g/cm2 per day; density of 3 g/cm3) on alveolar burden (Panel A) and daily dissolution from pulmonary and interstitial/lymph compartments (Panel B). Monodisperse aerosol (concentration = 1.0 µg/m3) of indicated sized particles were inhaled for 8-h per day by an adult male exposed while sitting at rest
