| Abstract |
88 uranium miners were studied to determine the correlation between the concentrations of atmospheric radon to which they were exposed and the concentrations of Polonium-210 in their blood and urine. Radon exposures were of the order of 7.5 x 10-10Ci/L, i.e. more than twice the MAC value. It was found that it is not possible to evaluate the total exposure of miners to radon and and its daughters by determining 210Po in the blood and urine while they are still exposed to 210Po. |
