Real-time monitoring of dosimetry is critical to mitigating the constraints of offline measurements. To address this need, the use of the Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) to estimate the dose delivered through the Dosimetric Aerosolin VitroInhalation Device (DAVID) was assessed. CuO nanoparticles suspended in ethanol at different concentrations (0.01–10 mg/mL) were aerosolized using a Collison nebulizer and diluted with air at a ratio of either 1:3 (setup 1) or 1:18 (setup 2). From the aerosol volume concentrations measured by the SMPS, density of CuO (6.4 g/cm3), collection time (5–30 min), flow rate (0.5 LPM) and deposition area (0.28 cm2), the mass doses (DoseSMPS) were observed to increase exponentially over time and ranged from 0.02 ± 0.001 to 84.75 ± 3.49 μg/cm2. The doses calculated from the Cu concentrations determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) (DoseICP) also increased exponentially over time (0.01 ± 0.01–97.25 ± 1.30 μg/cm2). Regression analysis between DoseICPand DoseSMPSshowed R2≥ 0.90 for 0.1–10 mg/mL. As demonstrated, the SMPS can be used to monitor the delivered dose in real-time, and controlled delivery of mass doses with a 226-fold range can be attained in ≤30 min in DAVID by adjusting the nebulizer concentration, dilution air and time.
