Mathematical Formulation: Inhalation Dose<br />

• Inhalation Dose<br />

– Where<br />

– T = Exposure period [h.a-1 ]<br />

– SA = Specific activity of U-238 or Th-232 in the waste rock [Bq.g-1 ]<br />

– M = Gravimetric airborne activity [mg.m-3 ]<br />

– BR = Breathing rate of exposed persons [m3 .h-1 ]<br />

– DCInh = Inhalation DC for uranium or thorium [Sv.Bq-1 ]<br />

– Inhalation dose coefficients for the uranium and thorium series with all nuclides<br />

in secular equilibrium were calculated from nuclide coefficients selected from<br />

the IAEA BSS for dust with an AMAD of 5 μm.
