Abstract: Aerosol inhalation apparatus for supplying an aerosol mist containing radioactive tagged particles and air to a person, includes a nebulizer for producing the aerosol mist; a filter having one end open to atmosphere; a first conduit connecting the opposite end of the filter and the nebulizer; a second conduit having one end fluidly connected to the first conduit; a mouthpiece connected to the opposite end of the second conduit; and a reusable container for containing the nebulizer, filter and first conduit; whereby, during inhalation, the aerosol mist travels to the second conduit from the nebulizer and the first conduit, and during exhale, exhaust air and aerosol mist travel to the filter from the second conduit through the first conduit such that the exhaust air is expelled to atmosphere and the aerosol mist becomes trapped.
