The applicability of the 14C-specific activity model
Description
In this note the carbon flow in the human food chain is analysed to assess the applicability and accuracy of the specific activity model estimating the 14C dose to man. In this model the specific activity in man is equated to the specific activity in air, thus avoiding concentration factors and intake rates whose parameters are difficult to ascertain. (U.K.)
