["Robert Loesch" <loesch@list.eh.doe.gov>]

According to ICRP 23, the mean epidermal thickness of the calf region 
of the body is approximately 8 mg/cm2 (ref: Fig. 36, pg. 50).

I am looking for the skin thickness, in mg/cm2, specific to the calf
portion of the body.  I believe it can be found in ICRP #23, but I do not
have a copy.  If ayone knows what this value is and the reference for it,
please e-mail to me at tarantino@vapower.com.
