ARLA Respiratory Deposition Calculator

The Respiratory Deposition Calculator has been developed at the Aerosol Research Laboratory of Alberta (ARLA) at the University of Alberta in order to facilitate easy calculation of aerosol deposition in human airways and related aerosol parameters.

Users are encouraged to refer to the following papers to learn more about the mathematical models used by the calculator, and to assess the suitability of these models to specific applications.

By using the Respiratory Deposition Calculator, you agree to the license.
