ABSTRACT Background: Monitoring internal exposure of individuals handling significant amounts of iodine-125 (I-125) for iodination is of great importance. These individuals are potentially exposed to external contamination, and internal contamination through inhalation, ingestion and intact skin absorption, to I-125. Considering radiological toxicity of this radionuclide its monitoring in the w...

background: to evaluate the risk involved, there is need to know the quantum of personnel exposures in whole service. dose reports from an oncology centre over 7 block periods, 5 years each from 1979 till 2013 are analyzed. materials and methods: personnel monitoring (pm) reports till 1990s with film badges and later thermoluminescent (tl) badges (caso4.dy) were evaluated. 35 years total servic...

Personnel monitoring data reported in the literature at selected monitoring sites for personnel working in fluoroscopic X-ray facilities are analyzed. The results are used to attempt to more realistically estimate the potential organ doses for X-ray personnel wearing protective devices such as lead aprons and protective eyeglasses when these personnel wear only one dosimeter positioned outside ...

In two studies we examined the hypothesis that the psychological construct of self-monitoring would identify people who adopt distinctly different strategies in personnel selection. In both experiments, undergraduates examined information about the physical appearance and personalities of two applicants for a specific job and then decided which applicant should receive a job offer. In Study 1 i...
