Location substance lodged in the respiratory tract or lungs and lung diseases that occur, depending on the size and type of particles inhaled.
Larger particles may be trapped in the nose or airways are great, but very small particles can get into the lungs.

Denser particles that can not be digested to be issued by the body's defense system.
The body has several ways to clean the particles are inhaled:
- In the respiratory tract, mucus will wrap particles, so it can be more easily expelled by coughing

Different particles will produce different reactions in the body. Some of the particles (eg plant pollen) can cause allergic reactions such as allergic rhinitis or asthma.
Coal powder, carbon and silver oxide does not cause significant reactions in the lungs.
The powder of silica and asbestos can cause permanent scarring of lung tissue (pulmonary fibrosis). In large enough quantities, asbestos can cause cancer in smokers.
