Figures & data

Table 1. Nanomaterial parameters used in the MPPD calculations (as requested in the MPPD menu Input Data > Particle Properties).

Table 2. Calculation of the deposition per breath for different diameters of silver NPs using MPPD and the exposure scenario “consumer upright”.

Table 3. Calculated mass and particle number corresponding to the human NOELhyp derived by the overload volume of 1.5 µm3 per alveolar macrophage for different NPs.

Figure 1. Relative deposition of silver (% external exposure) against particle diameter [µm] for the four exposure scenarios as calculated by MPPD. Note that the exposure dose has no influence on the relative distribution in MPPD v2.11. (A) Consumer, upright; (B) consumer, leaning forward; (C) bystander, child; (D) infant, lying. Total deposition (black), head (middle gray, blue), conducting airways (light gray, yellow), alveolar region (dark gray, red).
