Particulate of density \( 2000 \) kg/m\(^3\) and physical diameter \( 5 \) micrometres has an aerodynamic diameter of about

  • A.7.1 micrometres
  • B.5.0 micrometres
  • C.3.5 micrometres
  • D.10.0 micrometres

Answer: A

Aerodynamic diameter scales as the physical diameter times the square root of the density ratio, so \( 5\sqrt{2} = 7.07 \) micrometres. A dense particle therefore behaves like a larger one in both the lung and a control device.
