Author Description

CD-ROM. Over the last four years ICRP has developed a number of reports giving ingestion and inhalation dose coefficients for members of the public. A summary report, /locate/isbn/0080427375ICRP Publication 72, was issued giving a compilation of effective dose coefficients for intakes by inhalation and ingestion for nearly 800 radionuclides of 91 elements. Earlier, in 1994 a similarly wide-ranging set of dose coefficients for workers, based on the same biokinetic models, had been issued in /locate/isbn/0080426514ICRP Publication 68. Both of these Publications give only committed effective doses and in the case of inhalation cover only 1 &mgr;m AMAD aerosols for the public, and 1 and 5 &mgr;m AMAD aerosols for workers.A CD-ROM is now available which gives inhalation dose coefficients for ten aerosol sizes (0.001, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1
