Question The concentration of soot in atmospheric particles in an urban environment like Tempe is ~1 μg/m3. Research the average respiration rate for a person (or estimate it based on your respiration rate and a lung volume). If you assume that 50% of the particles inhaled stay in the lungs, what mass of soot accumulates in your lungs annually?
