摘要

Millions of people died of COPD and pneumoconiosis per year. Lower airway exposure to micron-sized particles is considered as the most threatening factors. Many efforts have been dedicated to quantify the concentration of particles in human breathing zone or inside the human respiratory system. But the discrepancy between different diameter particles from breathing zone into lower airway is still unknown. That's exactly an important information for assessing the harm of particles to human health. We developed an in-vitro respiratory system with a CT-imaging-based airway replica and a conjunct breathing machine. The airway replica contains face, nasal cavity, throat, trachea, the first five stages of bronchi and lung volumes. It is 3D-printed based on the CT scanning from a healthy volunteer. Monodispersed fluorescent particles with the aerodynamic diameters dae 0.6-5 pm were generated by TSI VOAG 3450® and monitored by TSI APS 3321®. The lower airway exposure was measured as the total accumulative particles that enters the lung volumes during the sampling period. SKC BioSampler® was used for collecting the fluorescent particles in the lung volumes. The quantity of the fluorescent strength was measured by Horiba Fluoro Max-4®. Particle concentration of breathing zone was evaluated through numerical simulation based on the experimental set-up. Results shown more than 30 % of 0.6 pm, 1 pm and 2 pm particles in human breathing zone can reach lower airway. The percentage becomes much smaller for larger particles. (20.4 ± 8.2)% for 3 pm particles and (5.1 ± 0.2)% for 5 pm particles are able to reach the lower airway. Our results are close to but still different with the classic ICRP66 model, which is based on anatomy replica measurements. This low-cost in-vitro system inspires a new method to access personal exposure to indoor particulate contaminants, especially for people with respiratory preconditions.
