The concentration of soot in atmospheric particles in an urban environment likeT

Question

The concentration of soot in atmospheric particles in an urban environment likeTempe is ~1 ?g/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?

For this question I need the websites (wiki is not a site) that you used for calculations and all the work (step by step)

Explanation / Answer

Respiratory rate is measured by counting the number of breaths a person takes in a one-minute period. Since many factors can affect the results, understanding how to take an accurate measurement is very important.

The rate should be measured at rest, not after someone has been up and walking about. Being aware that your breaths are being counted can make the results inaccurate, as people often alter the way they breathe if they know it's being monitored. Nurses are skilled at overcoming this problem by discretely counting respirations, watching the number of times your chest rises and falls
