BW, body weight; C, aerosol concentration; D, duration of exposure; DF, deposition fraction assumed as being 100% for the calculation of total delivered dose and 10% for the calculation of pulmonary delivered dose; RMV, respiratory minute volume from the formula RMV = 0.608 × BW0.852 (Alexander et al., 2008).
