Description
Over the last few years ICRP has developed a number of reports giving ingestion and inhalation dose coefficients for members of the public. A CD-ROM is now available which gives inhalation dose coefficients for ten aerosol sizes (0.001, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 5 and 10 im AMAD) as well as ingestion coefficients. Effective doses and equivalent doses for all important tissues for a range of integration times (1, 7 and 30 days, 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 45 years) are given, together with the dose coefficients to age 70 years. The CD-ROM also contains substantial help files, these contain: text from ICRP Publication 68; text from ICRP Publication 72; further information specific to the database; tables and diagrams describing the biokinetic models used for all elements.

We regret to say that this product is not compatible with Windows Vista.
