The main difficulty in finding the solution of the diffusion equation in the human lung lies in the extreme complexity of the boundary conditions. Furthermore, the role played by the alveolar walls has never been studied before. We have constructed, from anatomical data, the boundary conditions and

Ozone transport in a rigid single-pathway anatomic model of the lung was analyzed by a stable convergent numerical algorithm, the method of orthogonal collocation on finite elements. The simulations predicted the dynamic behavior of gas phase concentration profiles for both ozone and an insoluble in
