Comments P.365 top paragraph: "The concentration of inorganic ions in nasal secretion is inversely related to the daily volume. Data on the elemental composition of nasal secretion is presented in Table 131. Flow ranges from 500 to 1000 ml/day (primary source, p. 322). The bulk of the secretion will find its way to the gastrointestinal tract."
