The aim of this pilot project was to evaluate the feasibility of assessing the deposited particle dose in the lungs by applying the dynamic light scattering-based methodology in exhaled breath condensateur (EBC). In parallel, we developed and validated two analytical methods allowing the determination of inflammatory (hydrogen peroxide - H2O2) and lipoperoxidation (malondialdehyde - MDA) biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate. Finally, these methods were used to assess the particle dose and consecutive inflammatory effect in healthy nonsmoker subjects exposed to environmental tobacco smoke in controlled situations was done.
