F<strong>in</strong>al dissolution rate for modell<strong>in</strong>g the absorption <strong>in</strong>to blood of the particles <strong>in</strong><br />

the transformed state.<br />

Type S Type of absorption (S, slow) of a radionuclide from the respiratory tract <strong>in</strong>to<br />

the blood. The default values of the correspond<strong>in</strong>g parameters s p, s pt and s t are<br />

0.1, 100 and 0.0001 d -1 , respectively.<br />

Type M Type of absorption (M, moderate) of a radionuclide from the respiratory tract<br />

<strong>in</strong>to the blood. The default values of the correspond<strong>in</strong>g parameters s p, s pt and s t<br />

are 10, 90 and 0.005 d -1 , respectively.<br />

Type F Type of absorption (F, fast) of a radionuclide from the respiratory tract <strong>in</strong>to the<br />

blood. The default values of the correspond<strong>in</strong>g parameters s p, s pt and s t are 100,<br />

0 and 0 d -1 , respectively.<br />

AMAD Activity Median Aerodynamic Diameter, commonly expressed <strong>in</strong> micrometers<br />

[µm]. It is the median of an aerosol activity distribution with respect to<br />

particles aerodynamic diameter.<br />

eu(t) Percentage daily ur<strong>in</strong>ary excretion at time t for a certa<strong>in</strong> radionuclide.<br />

ef(t) Percentage daily fecal excretion at time t for a certa<strong>in</strong> radionuclide.<br />

e u(t) Fractional daily ur<strong>in</strong>ary excretion at time t for a certa<strong>in</strong> radionuclide.<br />

I Intake, i.e. amount of activity of a certa<strong>in</strong> radionuclide <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>in</strong>to the<br />

body.<br />

E(50) Committed effective dose for a certa<strong>in</strong> radionuclide (see Annex).<br />

H T(50) Committed equivalent dose for a certa<strong>in</strong> radionuclide (see Annex).<br />
