Six people sat in a closed room. On day 1, they breathed normal, clean air. On day 2, they breathed air containing cigarette smoke. After one hour, a substance was sprayed into each person’s nose. After 40 minutes, the researchers measured the percentage of the substance that remained in each person’s nose. This was done on both days. The faster the cilia and goblet cells were working, the faster the substance was removed from the nose. Table 8.1 shows the results.
