Although there appears to be no significant species differences in absorption rates for small lipophilic drugs, some interspecies differences are noted with water-soluble drugs absorbed from distal airspaces of in vivo mammalian lungs [112], These species differences have not been systematically studied yet. However, some marked differences were reported for protein absorption rates...

For the analysis of extracellular glycolipids of respiratory tract, we have chosen the acellular material lining the alveoli of mammalian lungs. This unique lipid-protein mixture, responsible for the reduction of alveolar surface forces during respiration,... 

Different irritant chemicals affect parts of the mammalian respiratory system differently. The upper respiratory tract of the mammalian lung is affected by chemicals such as aldehydes, ammonia, alkaline dust, chromic acid, sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, and ethylene oxide). It is now known that many fluorine-containing organic compounds, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), have played a major role in the asthmatic deaths...

Not chemically toxic, but - large amounts of finely divided silicates or silica are —injurious to the mammalian lung. 

Ultimately, the air with its remaining contaminants reaches the pulmonary region, which is the most distal and includes the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli. The main purpose of the alveolar architecture of the mammalian lung is to expose blood to gas over a large surface area within a comparatively small volume.
