Abstract
Deposition and clearance of inhaled particles of iron oxide labeled with 198Au were studied in 19 normal subjects (10 nonsmokers and 9 smokers). For this purpose, monodisperse aerosols of particles with a 2 μ diameter were produced in a spinning disc atomizer. Thoracic counts and images with a scintillation camera were begun immediately after inhalation of the aerosol and continued for 6 hr.
