Abstract
A mathematical model is developed to determine the deposition of straight chain aggregates in the human respiratory tract. The expressions for collection efficiencies of various deposition mechanisms, both in the airways and in the head region, are derived. Total and regional results are obtained for aggregates of different primary sphere diameters and for different numbers of spheres in the chain.
