AbstractAbstract
[en] Estimates of the committed effective dose (E50) from an inhalation of a radionuclide depend strongly on the absorption type and AMAD of inhaled particles. A misuse of these parameters can result in a significant error in the evaluated value of the E50. In this study, the uncertainties in E50 caused by a misjudgment of the absorption type and AMAD of inhaled 60Co were evaluated for various bioassay types and measurement times after an inhalation. The considered dosimetric parameters and their ranges are as follows: M and S for absorption types in lungs; 0.1, 1, 5, 10 μm for AMAD sizes; 1-365 days for bioassay measurement times after an inhalation. The ratios of the evaluated E50 with an assumption of the absorption type M and 5μm AMAD to the true E50 were in the range of 0.37-3.50 for the lungs bioassay, 0.08-1.43 for the whole-body bioassay, 0.004-1.54 for the urine bioassay, and 0.01-1.68 for the feces bioassay. In order to minimize the uncertainty in the evaluated E50 when the absorption type and AMAD are uncertain, better bioassay types and measurement times were suggested
