Pub 66 LUNG DEPOSITION MODEL

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) publishes a series of reports describing the deposition of airborne radionuclides to the respiratory tract of workers for the purpose of calculating radiation exposure and to set forth a Lung Deposition Model that allows the derivation of percentages of radioactive material deposited in the different regions of the lungs based on physiological and environmental factors.   This site provides access to run the Lung Deposition Model.   It also includes extensive documentation of the model and links to schematics of the model to give a visual presentation of the model.
