Description

The results of 125I monitoring in the thyroid of labelling workers in Beijing are presented. Thyroid of 79 workers engaged in routine 125I-labelling in the several laboratories of Beijing are monitored. Among them seventy-eight workers presents a 125I obvious contamination. The deposition of 125I in the thyroid glands is within the range of 0.01-6.32 kBq. The estimated intake for workers is lower than 1/10 of annual limit of intake. Collective dose equivalent is 27.72 man·mSv. The per capita dose equivalent is 0.35 mSv
