A simplified schematic of the generations of the human airways. FROM: West, 1995 with permission. In this schematic there are 23 generations or branchings of the airways. Dissecting the airways from a human lung is extremely tedious and only a few lungs have been dissected. The number of generations varies and there is probably considerable inter-individual variation in the numbers of generations. Note that there are two airway zones depicted, a conducting zone and a transitional/respiratory zone.
Most man-made sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions come from stationary point sources and more than 90% of these discharges are in the form of S02. S02 is a colorless gas with a pungent odor. Sulfur oxide emissions can be reduced by controlling the sulfur content of fuels (oil and coal) and using scrubbers to remove the sulfur oxides in the smoke stack. Another technique to reduce point source SOx emissions has been to build tall smoke stacks which will disperse the SOx over a wide area. This control 35 technology has created problems of its own by blanketing wide areas with S02 and sulfate and causing acid deposition throughout much of the eastern coast of the US and southern Canada.
