Abstract Spherical monodisperse ferromagnetic iron oxide particles of pm geometric and pm aerodynamic diameter were inhaled by seven patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia PCD using the shallow bolus technique and compared to l3 healthy non-smokers NS from a previous study. The bolus penetration front depth was limiting to the phasel dead space volume. In PCD patients deposition was 58 -8 after 8 s breath holding time. Particle retention was measured by the magnetopneumographic method over a period of nine months. Particle clearance from the airways showed a fast and a slow phase. In
