The lung has a far greater external surface area (almost 70 m2) and encounters more of the external environment (about 9000 L of air daily) than any other organ. As a result, the lung is both a common target for environmental disease and an important point of entry for pollutants that ...

Recent research has confirmed the hypothesis that PHS susceptible broilers have an inherent potential to outgrow their pulmonary vascular capacity...
