| Description | When selecting an inhalation exposure system, the basic requirement is that it deliver a stable, well characterized study atmosphere to a subject or subjects for a specified duration. Inhalation exposure durations vary from a few seconds to a major fraction of the lifespans of the subjects (months or years). Secondary, but important, goals are to minimize stress to the subjects, to prevent exposure to substances other than those under study, to protect laboratory personnel from exposure to the test substances, and to prevent or limit nonrespiratory tract exposure (dermal and gastrointestinal) of the study subjects. In addition, a particular study may have additional objectives, such as permitting exercise or varying the exposure concentration on a predetermined schedule. Achieving all of the above goals simultaneously may be challenging, even for an experienced investigator and team. Several excellent papers and general reference works describing exposure systems that have been successful in meeting these goals are $available.^{1–23}$ Book Name: Methods in Inhalation Toxicology |
