People with Lung Disease Collect More Particles in Their Lungs
New findings
demonstrate that PM2.5 deposits in critical regions
of the lung after it enters the respiratory tract.
Some parts of a diseased lung collect 8 to 10 times
more particles than a healthy lung, a fact that has
major implications for people with lung disease.
This report suggests that people with lung disease
may be more affected by increasing levels of PM
because they receive greater doses.
