Abstract
The potential interaction of air‐borne metal pollutants with pulmonary lung surfactant may be simulated using monolayers of dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (lecithin) spread on aqueous subphases containing different metal ions. Preliminary surface pressure and surface potential results indicate that cadmium interacts with dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline, such that the surface characteristics of the phospholipid are altered.Keywords
