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 />
