Estimate of 50-Year Dose Commitment to Various Organs and Tissues of the Body from Inhalation of exp 222 RN Free of Its Daughters

摘要

Some topics discussed are as follows: retention of exp 222 Rn in fat, bone, heart, muscle, skin, testes, and urinary bladder; retention equations for Rn; decay scheme for Rn and exp 226 Ra; metabolic models for Po, Pb, and Bi; dose estimates to target organs for exp 222 Rn and its daughters that are not inhaled but produced from decay of exp 222 Rn; and estimation of MPC for bone marrow, gonads, and total body.
