AQ Safety, Inc. can provide dose coefficients and excretion/retention curves based on special conditions. We can help get alternate values approved by the regulatory agency that oversees your radioactive material license. Capabilities include
- Ages from infants to adults
- Inhalation or ingestion
- ICRP-68 or Federal Guidance Report 13 (FGR 13) methodologyActivity median aerodynamic diameters (AMAD) up to 100 μm
- Client-specified values of GI uptake fraction, f1
- Annual dose commitment coefficients
- Acute dose commitment coefficients
- Dose equivalent commitment coefficients for client-specified commitment periods
- Separate absorbed dose commitment coefficients for high-LET and low-LET radiation components
- Dose coefficients and excretion/retention curves for special metabolic situations (e.g., persons with no thyroid gland)
- Unusual respiration characteristics (e.g., mouth-breathers)
