title: [Physical and chemical properties of the condensate of breathed-out air in healthy people].
abstract: The physical-and-chemical condition of condensate of breathed-out moisture (CBM) was studied by the computer-aided analysis of axis-symmetric drops' form in healthy subjects; such condition was found to depend on sex, age and smoking-addiction of the examined persons. The surface tension of the mentioned moisture correlated with its viscoelastic index and with relaxation. The metabolites of nitric oxide, lipids, urea, lactic acid (not uric acid) and of hydrogen peroxide were found to influence the physical-and-chemical parameters of respiratory moisture. Hydrogen peroxide had a reverse correlation with the CBM viscoelastic module. A status of the pulmonary surfactant can be evaluated by using the studied physical-and-chemical CBM parameters.
