Fig. 5.1. Deposition of dust in the respiratory system. The percentage of activity or mass of an aerosol which is deposited in the N-P, T-B and P regions is given in relation to the Activity Median Aerodynamic Diameter (AMAD) of the aerosol distribution. The model is intended for use with aerosol distributions with AMADS between 0.2 and IO pm and wrth geometric standard deviations of less than 4.5. Provisional estimates of deposition further extending the size range are given by the dashed lines. For an unusual distribution with an AMAD of greater than 20 l&m, complete deposition in N-P can be assumed. The model dots not apply to aerosols with AMADs of less than 0.1 pm.

Fig. 5.2. Mathematical model used to describe clearance from the respiratory system. The values for the removal half-times, r,_, and compartmental fractions, F.-r are given in the tabular portion of the figure for each of the three classes of retained materials. The values given for D N4, Dr_sand D, (left column) are the regional depositions for an aerosol with an AMAD of I pm. The schematic drawing identifies the various clearance pathways from compartments a-i in the four respiratory regions, N-P, T-B, P and L. n.a. ~ not applicable.
Page 76 of Part 1 and pages 54 and 55 of its Supplement: As a consequence of the Commission’s decision to reduce its recommended dose equivalent limit for the lens of the eye from 0.3 Sv to 0.15 Sv in a year, values of DAC for *’ Kr and *““Kr are amended as follows.

Page 78, The values of ALI and DAC for *‘Sr are incorrect because no allowance was made for the contribution to committed dose equivalent of *‘Rb, the daughter of *‘Sr. The corrected dosimetric data are given in Supplement B of Part 3. The correct values of AL1 and DAC are given below:

Page 84, In Section 3 it is incorrect to state that none of the radioisotopes of molybdenum considered has a radioactive half-life greater than 3 days. “MO has a half-life of 3.5 x 10’ years and should perhaps be considered to be distributed throughout the volume of mineral bone rather than on its surface following its deposition in the skeleton. Such an assumption will make only a marginal difference to the values of AL1 and DAC quoted.
Page 86, In Section 3 it is incorrect to state that none of the radioisotopes of tellerium considered has a radioactive half-life greater than 200 days. 123Te has a radioactive half-life of 10’ 3 years and should perhaps be considered as a volume rather than a surface seeker of mineral bone. This would have the effect of increasing the values of AL1 shown. However, the mass of the AL1 is so great that lZ3Te will not present a radiation hazard in any practical circumstance.
Page 87, Some of the values of AL1 and DAC shown for radioisotopes of tellurium are incorrect due to a transcription error. The correct values are as follows:

Page 88, The second paragraph of Section (c) Distributionand Retention should read as follows: “Of iodine entering the transfer compartment a fraction, 0.3, is assumed to be translocated to the thyroid while the remainder.is assumed to go directly to excretion. Iodine in the thyroid is assumed to be retained with a biological half-lifeof 80 days and to be lost from the gland in the form of organic iodine. Organic iodine is assumed to be uniformly distributed among all organs and tissues of the body other than the thyroid and to be retained there with a biological half-life of 12days. One-tenth of this organic iodine is assumed to go directly to faecal excretion and the rest is assumed to be returned to the transfer compartment as inorganic iodine so that the effective half-life of iodine in the thyroid is 120 days.” Values of AL1 and DAC for radioisotopes of iodine are not changed.

Page 51, Values of AL1 and DAC for ’ '*Re are incorrect because l ‘*Ta (2.2 h) was incorrectly included in the decay chain instead of I’*Ta (9.31 min). A revised drawing of the decay scheme and tables of dosimetric data will be given in Supplement B to Part 3. The revised values of AL1 and DAC are as follows:
