Abstract

Abstract

Four experiments were performed in which two subjects on two occasions drank approximately 1 μc radon plus daughters in 100 ml of water. Measurements on radon loss in expired air, whole body Radium C content, and radon in the blood permit the calculation of an (MPC)w, of 2.0 × 10−4 μc/ml for occupational exposure. This is based an the stomach as the critical organ, but doses to the lung, kidney, and liver are estimated.
