Abstract

Inhalation dose commitment factors are presented for selected radionuclides for exposure of individuals in four age groups: infant, child, teen and adult. Radionuclides considered are ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁴⁵Ca, ⁶⁷Ga, ⁷⁵Se, ⁸⁵Sr, ¹⁰⁹Cd, ¹¹³Sn, ¹²⁵I, ¹³³Ba, ¹⁷⁰Tm, ¹⁶⁹Yb, ¹⁸²Ta, ¹⁹²Ir, ¹⁹⁸Au, ²⁰¹Tl, ²⁰⁴Tl, and ²³⁶Pu. The calculational method is based on the human metabolic model of ICRP as defined in Publication 2 (ICRP 1959) and as used in previous age-specific dose factor calculations by Hoenes and Soldat (1977). Dose commitment factors are presented for the following organs of reference: total body, bone, liver, kidney, thyroid, lung and lower large intestine.
