Where inhaled particles are likely to deposit in the respiratory tract depends on the aerodynamic properties of the particles and the geometry of the respiratory tract of the person of interest. A key aerodynamic property is the aerodynamic size. For airborne particles, the aerodynamic size depends on the shape and density of the particle. The shapes and densities of airborne radioactive particles depend on the exposure scenario considered. The aerodynamic size is different from the actual size and accounts for the aerodynamic behavior of an aerosol. Usually aerodynamic equivalent diameter... is used to indicate the aerodynamic size. 4, record 3, English, - aerodynamic%20equivalent%20diameter
