| Abstract | Mucociliary transport is responsible for the cleansing of inhaled particles from the conducting airways of the lung. The characteristics of human tracheobronchial mucociliary transport have been investigated using radiotagged aerosols. These methods are critically reviewed together with alternative techniques. The role of predictive mathematical models of tracheobronchial clearance is discussed. Major findings regarding mucociliary clearance in health and the effects of drugs, inhaled pollutants, and disease are summarized. Throughout, areas requiring problem-solving are delineated. |
