The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in Switzerland is rather high, and therefore, the occurrence of accidental intakes of CAM remedies by children and associated intoxications is to be expected. In the present study, the inquiries to the Swiss Toxicological Information Centre that took place from 1998 until 2007 and concerned ...

This is a comprehensive manual describing how to compute intakes from both in-vivo and in-vitro bioassay measurements. To date, interpretations of intake have been inconsistent, particularly in the early phases after an accidental intake. The manual is ai...

The problem of estimating internal exposure from the intake of uranium is discussed. Excreta samples are routinely taken from workers at regular intervals during normal operations and/or after an accidental release of radioactive substances to the immedia...

Some of the methods of reducing the radirtion dose to critical organs following accidental intake of radioactive materials are reviewed. More detailed consideration is given to the place of isotope dilution methods with specisl reference to intakes of radioiodine and to the reduction of internal contamination by the ...

The problem of estimating internal exposure from the intake of uranium is discussed. Excreta samples are routinely taken from workers at regular intervals during normal operations and/or after an accidental release of radioactive substances to the immediate environment of the worker. Data on the activity excreted per day is analyzed to estimate the ...

The aspiration of lipoid material following the accidental ingestion of lipid formulations is the most frequent cause of exogenous lipoid pneumonia in paediatrics. The presence of cough, increasing dyspnea and chest pain, together with alveolar infiltrates in the chest radiography and the previous accidental intake of a lipid substance ...

The report presents the NRC staff with a tool for assessing the potential effects of accidental releases of radioactive materials and toxic substances on habitability of nuclear facility control rooms. The tool is a computer code that estimates concentrat...

Uranyl acetylacetonate (UAA) is an organic complex of uranium used for military applications as a chemical catalyst in high explosives. It is prepared from depleted uranium metal (in lots of 5 kg to 7 kg) by dissolution in nitric acid, neutralization, and...

Four employees at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory experienced an intake by inhalation of $sup 244$Cm as a result of an accidental release of this radionuclide. Urine and fecal samples were obtained and were analyzed in the Bioassay Laboratory at ORNL. Also, chest counts were made with the ORNL Whole- Body Counter. Ca-DTPA mists were inhaled ...

This report provides background material for the development of FDA's Protective Action Recommendations: Accidental Radioactive Contamination of Food and Animal Feeds. The rationale, dosimetric and agricultural transport models for the Protective Action Guides are presented, along with information on dietary intake. In addition, the document ...

Zebra mussels, introduced accidentally into the Great Lakes, are overpopulating at phenomenal rates, especially in Lake Erie, where they damage oyster beds, foster excessive algae growth and cling to boats. They also clog the intake pipes of city water systems and power generating plants. The expense of cleaning intake screens is ...

In this paper we describe a non-linear model with correlated observations which accounts for the elimination rate of radiation in the lung of individuals who have been exposed to an accidental intake at some time. The response is then modelled as a conditional Poisson distribution. When the leak is moderate or the size of the particles is large a ...

This note is the brief history of a word. Decorporation is a scientific term known to health physicists who have an interest in the removal of internally deposited radionuclides from the body after an accidental or inadvertent intake. Although the word decorporation appears many times in the radiation protection literature, it was only recently accepted by ...

A total number of 103 cases and 4 deaths of poisoning caused by chemicals for plant protection were registered in Poland in 2002 (incidence 0.27 per 100,000 population). There were: 68 cases (66% of total) after intake of chemicals (after suicidal intake--36% and 3 deaths, after accidental intake--22%, after ...

It was considered that the values previously recommended for the maximum permissible dose or dose-rate to critical organs after the absorption of these radioisotopes from the diet should also be applicable for their inhalation during an emergency. Thus the maximum intakes of radioicdine proposed for various ages correspond to a total thyroid irradiation of 25 rad; the ...

Although human experience with uranium spans more than 200 years, the LD50 for acute intake in humans has not been well established. Large acute doses of uranium can produce death from chemical toxicity in rats, guinea pigs, and other small experimental animals, with variation in sensitivity among species. However, there has never been a death attributable to uranium poisoning ...

Uranyl acetylacetonate (UAA) is an organic complex of uranium used for military applications as a chemical catalyst in high explosives. It is prepared from depleted uranium metal (in lots of 5 kg to 7 kg) by dissolution in nitric acid, neutralization, and complexation with 2,4-pentanedione; the precipitate is dissolved in benzene and recrystallized, dried, ground, and packaged. About six workers ...

In 54 cases of accidental death in cities with water hardness of 60 parts per million (ppm) or less, the mean myocardial magnesium concentration was 918 mug/g of dry tissue. This was 7% lower than the corresponding figure of 982 mug/g among 29 cases of accidental death in cities with water hardness of 300 ppm or more, and this difference was significant (P ...
