Abstract

Nail dust particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy for size and topography. The percentage of "fines" that could be inhaled and deposited in the alveoli and bronchioles were determined by quantitative particle size analysis. Distribution representing the largest total mass was graphed between 1 and 2 microns. The authors found that 86% of nail dust would reach the bronchioles and alveoli, and 31% could be expected to deposit in these areas.

摘要

通过扫描电子显微镜分析指甲粉尘颗粒的大小和形貌。通过定量粒度分析确定可吸入并沉积在肺泡和细支气管中的“细颗粒”百分比。绘制了代表最大总质量的分布曲线，范围在1至2微米之间。作者发现，86%的指甲粉尘会到达细支气管和肺泡，预计其中31%会沉积在这些区域。
