Pulmonary clearance mechanisms.
The intensity of the deposit and the clearance efficiency of the different zones determine the future of the particles (elimination, transfer to other organs) and thus their potential effects.
How does pulmonary elimination work?
Apart from specific cases, deposited particles are eliminated from the lungs by natural clearance mechanisms:
