Characterization of mass distribution in a biomimetic aerosol exposure system

CONCLUSIONS: We estimate the fraction of yield to the mouth deposited at several locations throughout the system for a variety of puffing and respiration topographies and show that emissions topography profile and system flow path geometry affect dose. This work provides proof-of-concept for assessing mass distribution as a function of aerosol generator (e-cigarette product), user airway geometry, and inhalation and puffing topography.PMID:38669189 | DOI:10.1080/08958378.2024.2341995
