In a recent paper (Unterkofler et al 2015 J. Breath Res. 9 036002) we presented a simple two compartment model which describes the influence of inhaled concentrations on exhaled breath concentrations for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with small Henry constants. In this paper we extend this investigation concerning the influence of inhaled concentrations on exhaled breath concentrations for VOCs with higher Henry constants. To this end we extend our model with an additional compartment which takes into account the influence of the upper airways on exhaled breath VOC concentrations.
在最近的一篇论文(Unterkofler 等人,2015 年,J. Breath Res. 9,036002)中,我们提出了一个简单的双室模型,用于描述亨利常数较小的挥发性有机化合物(VOC)的吸入浓度对呼气中浓度的影响。在本文中,我们扩展了这一研究,探讨了亨利常数较高的 VOC 的吸入浓度对呼气中浓度的影响。为此,我们扩展了我们的模型,增加了一个额外的腔室,以考虑上呼吸道对呼气中 VOC 浓度的影响。
