Environmental radiation and the lung

Philip E Hamrick, Phillip J Walsh
PMCID: PMC1475392  PMID: 4620334

Abstract

Environmental sources of radioactive materials and their relation to lung doses and lung burdens are described. The approaches used and the problems encountered in estimating lung doses are illustrated. Exposure to radon daughter products is contrasted to exposure to plutonium as particular examples of the hazards associated with radioactive materials of different chemical and physical characteristics.
