Detailed deposition information from the turbinate region indicated that deposition was high toward the anterior portion where most deposition was concentrated on the inferior meatus, and the spray angle and droplet size of the nasal spray were found to be important in influencing the deposition pattern in the nasal airway.

The biological effects of inhaled 238PuO2 over the life spans of 144 beagle dogs suggest that similar dose-related biological effects could be expected in humans accidentally exposed to 238PUO2.
