The Sievert (Sv) is a measure of the health effects
of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human
body. At equal
doses, the effects of radioactivity on living tissue
exposure.
Contrary to the Becquerel, the Sievert is a very
decay.
N0 is the initial quantity of the substance that will
decay (this quantity may be measured in grams,
moles, number of atoms, etc.),
N(t) is the quantity that still remains and has not yet
dec quantity,
τ is a positive number called the mean lifetime of the
decaying quantity,
λ is a positive number called the decay constant of
artery disease.
Chromium 51 used for diagnosis of pernicious anaemia.
Holmium 166 used for diagnosis and treatment of liver
tumours.
Iodine 125 used diagnostically to evaluate the filtration
rate of kidneys.
STORAGE OF RADIOACTIVE
SUBSTANCES
Radiopharmaceuticals should be kept in well-closed
containers and stored in an area assigned for the purpose.
The storage conditions should be such that the maximum
radiation dose rate to which persons may be exposed is
reduced to an acceptable level.
Care should be taken to comply with national regulations for
ones
The amounts used must be kept to a minimum.
Never work alone in a radioactive lab, especially
not outside normal working hours. Always make
sure to have someone nearby in case of emergency.
Take all precautions to prevent radioactive
contamination:
Always separate radioactive activities from non-
radioactive activities.
As far as possible, limit the area where
contaminated.
Keep personal items such as handbags, etc., outside
the lab.
Use appropriate radiation shields. Return the
stock solution to storage immediately after
removing the amount needed.
- To avoid internal contamination, strict
