Heads of killed animals were exposed to air stream containing triphenyl phosphate aerosol (1.2 gm/cm/sup 3/, 1.3 ..mu..m) for 10 to 30 min. Nasal penetration was 92.7 +- 7% in rabbits, 85 +- 2% in dogs, and 76 +- 10% in guinea pigs (significantly less in guinea pigs because of their greater inhalation velocity). No effect of wind direction was observed.
