Carbon dust and mucociliary transport
Journal Article
·
· Arch. Environ. Health; (United States)
Inhalation of carbon dust by 8 volunteers increased mucociliary transport as determined by measurement of a preinhalation of /sup 99m/Tc. Bronchoconstriction (deposition higher in airways), cough, and increased mucociliary transport are defensive mechanisms for lungs.
