This info is from the University of Maryland Medical Center:
I believe this info is just for inhaled NAC, if anybody knows whether the half life is the same for inhaled versus injected NAC, that would be greatly appreciated.

Pharmacodynamics/Kinetics:

Onset of action: Inhalation: 5-10 minutes

Duration: Inhalation: >1 hour

Distribution: 0.47 L/kg

Time to peak, plasma: Oral: 1-2 hours
