to evaluate the effects of lung disease on deposition of inhaled ultrafine particles ( less than 0.1 micron diameter ) , we measured total respiratory tract deposition of nonhygroscopic particles of 0.02 to 0.24 micron in five subjects with obstructive lung disease and three subjects with restrictive lung disease and compared it with that in ten normal subjects .
