inhaled dose

["andre geerdink" <volkswagen181@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Dear radsafers,



Me and a colleague, also working in radiation safety, are planning a visit 

to the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl reactor.

I know the radiation levels are low and obviously these are easy to measure. 

More diffiult to estimate is what doses to expect from inhalation of 

airborne radioactive contaminated particles.  What concentrations of 

radioactive isotopes are to be expected in dust and what dose would you 

inhale in a day? Would we need breathing protection?

Who can give me some clues what to expect?



André Geerdink
