Paper draws attention to chemical engineering applications in the problems of drug delivery by inhalation, i.e. in atomization of liquids, preparation of functional powders and their aerosolization, aerodynamic design of inhaling devices, and finally – flow and mass transfer processes in the layers of lung fluids (bronchial mucus and pulmonary surfactant).
