What is ICRP Publication 66. Human Respiratory Tract Model for Radiological Protection about?

Annals of ICRP v. 24, No 1-3, Pergamon, 1994. 462 p. This report describes a revision of the model used in ICRP Publication 30 to calculate radiation doses to the respiratory tract of workers resulting from the intake of airborne radionuclides. This revision was motivated by the availability of increased knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory tract and of the deposition, clearance, and biological effects of inhaled radioactive particles, and by greatly expanded dosimetry requirements. In addition, large differences in radiation sensitivity among the respiratory tract tissues and the doses they receive from inhaled radionuclides argue for calculating radiation doses to specific tissues of the respiratory tract. (The current model leads to calculation of doses averaged over the total mass of blood-filled lungs.) To use these tissue doses effectively for radiation protection purposes, they must be compatible with the ICRP dosimetric system in ICRP Publication 60. Addressing all of these requirements has resulted in a dosimetry model that is more complex than previous models. This complexity is reflected in the structure of this report, which includes chapters on re
