In the present study, three‐dimensional numerical simulation was carried out to predict unsteady flows around a breathing human and how suspended particulate matter (SPM, diameter∼1 μm) reaches the human nose in inhalation and exhalation. In the calculation, we find out smaller breathing angle and the closer distance between the human nose and pollutant region are effective in the inhalation of SPM. (3) The particle captured efficiency tends to become higher and particles tend to reach the human nose faster as the breathing angle becomes smaller.
