| General note | The presence of microplastics in the human respiratory system raises alarm regarding the adverse<br/>effects on human health from the exposure of these particles to airway tracts. Microplastics are<br/>byproducts of industrial processes and waste and are chemically hazardous for the human body.<br/>Therefore, prediction of deposition patterns of inhaled particles can help in reevaluating risk<br/>associated with these particles and indication of parts of human airways that are highly exposed to<br/>these risks. In this thesis, a study was conducted on deposition patterns of microplastic particles in<br/>human airways and the effect of airflow distribution on the deposition efficiency of these particles<br/>inside human lungs. An MRI scanned realistic human lung model was prepared as a CAD<br/>geometry on which CFD analysis was performed using DPM. Both spherical and non-spherical<br/>particles were injected for analysis. Parametric study was conducted with varying flow-rates,<br/>diameters and shape factors, the results of which can help in specifying parts of airways which can<br/>be most affected by the deposition and thus can be targeted by drug delivery system for efficient<br/>treatment. |
