Size Distribution of Radon Progeny Aerosol in the Working Area of a Dry Former Uranium Mine
To provide improved particle size data for reconstructing the radiation dose incurred by Colorado plateau uranium miners, sampling exercises were made in 1988 and 1994 at Twilight Mine in western Colorado, a former uranium mine that is now used as a research and training facility. The strategy was to simulate or approximate some of the conditions to which the miners were exposed, then sample th...
متن کاملDeposition of Inhaled Fibrous Particles in the Human Lung
A theoretical model was developed to calculate the deposition of inhaled fibrous particles in the human lung. In the derivation of deposition formulae, the simultaneous effects of the velocity shear in the air flow and Brownian rotation on particle orientation were considered. Total deposition of fibers in the lung at mouth breathing was found to be smaller than that of spherical ones with the ...
متن کاملDeposition and metabolism of inhaled ciclesonide in the human lung.
Ciclesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid, administered as a prodrug via a metered-dose inhaler. Following deposition in the lung, ciclesonide is hydrolysed by esterases to form the pharmacologically active metabolite desisobutyryl-ciclesonide (des-CIC). Formation of des-CIC, as well as reversible esterification of des-CIC with fatty acids, has been demonstrated in vitro. The aim of this study w...
متن کاملKilling of target cells due to radon progeny in the human lung.
The dose conversion coefficient (DCC) is used to assess the risk due to inhaled radon progeny in the human lung. The present work uses the microdosimetric approach and determines the linear energy transfer in the target cell nuclei. Killing of target cells was also taken into account through an effect-specific track length model. To focus on the relevant part of the absorbed dose in the cell nu...
متن کاملIntegrating Radon Progeny Monitor
INTRODUCTION The Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC) carried out research and development projects related to uranium exploration in Japan from 1967 to 1987. Several mining facilities have been retained after the end of projects. Hence, the study on the behavior and the environmental impact of radon and its progeny from the mining facilities is being continued at the Ningyo-toge Env...
