Abstract

Methods and devices for inhalation therapy to deliver and embed (deposit) particles less than about 1 μm in diameter in the lung. High humidity treatment of the lungs causes condensational growth in particle size upon entering the lungs. Increased particle size is conducive to particle embedment (deposition) in deep lung tissue or at a specific targeted lung region.
