Description: |
The deposition of cigarette carcinogens in human
lungs has been suggested as a factor likely
associated with lung cancer. Cigarette smoking
machines can be used to induce particle deposition in
human lung casts. The objective of this project is to
improve the functionality of RIT’s
existing smoking machine and lung casting
methodologies and to design and develop a hardware
and software interface between the smoking machine
and human lung casts. The basic smoking machine in
existence consists of a vacuum pump that pulls smoke
through a cigarette and a series of flowmeters and
valves at a specified intervals. Key features to be
added to the existing machine include (1) automatic
flameless ignition, (2) enhanced graphical computer
interface, and (3) electrostatic smoke filtering. The
interface to be developed between the smoking machine
and lung cast should accurately reproduce smoking
patterns and air flow through a lung cast containing
up to 10 airway generations. All enhancements and
additions to the smoking machine must comply with
standardized smoking protocols. The deliverables for
the project include: (1) Fully functional upgrades to the existing smoking machine (2) Multi-generation lung casts (3) Graphical user interface to control the smoking machine (4) Fully functional hardware and software interface between the existing smoking machine and lung casts (5) Design documentation and testing results for all enhancements and methodologies |
