MODES OF EXPOSURE AND BIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR
OF TRITIUM - How can I be exposed to tritium and what
would it do to me?
A. External Dose
Tritium is not an external hazard.
-
Tritium is not a dose concern if it is
-
located outside the body.
Tritium betas will not penetrate a
-
dosimeter.
We are interested only in tritium inside
-
the body.
B.
Internal Dose
Tritium is an "internal" radiation hazard.
C.
Modes of Exposure
Tritium can deliver a radiation dose if it gets
inside our bodies. Modes of entry include:
-  inhalation
-  absorption
-  injection (cuts/wounds)
-  ingestion
