Excerpt
Introduction: There have been numemus studies to determine the fate of inhaled materials in the lung. On the basis of these studies, it has been determined that there are two primary mechanisms by which material is cleared from the lung. More soluble material, i.e., material dissolved within approximately 1 day, is solubilized in lung fluids and removed via absorption into the blood. Less soluble, or for the purposes of this discussion, insoluble, material is removed mechanically. This clearance mechanism involves direct physical movement of material up themucociliary escalator or phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages (AM), which then transport the material up the mucociliary escalator or move.
