Fig. 4.
Theoretical bias map for the error between aspiration (ideal inhalable sampler) and total respiratory deposition (ICRP model) for varying particle size distributions of unit density spheres. Numbered lines represent isopleths of the percent overestimation of mass deposited in the human lung as measured with an inhalable sampler. Ovals represent particle size ranges reported in the literature for several occupational aerosol types.
