Article Synopsis
- * The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has not established dose coefficients specifically for inhaled tritiated steel, raising concerns over worker safety.
- * Research, including studies in rodents and advanced modeling, determined a dose coefficient for inhaling tritiated steel particles, suggesting significant exposure risks for workers at different particle sizes.
This article aims at comparing reference methods for the assessment of cancer risk from exposure to genotoxic carcinogen chemical substances and to ionizing radiation. For chemicals, cancer potency is expressed as a toxicological reference value (TRV) based on the most sensitive type of cancer generally observed in animal experiments of oral or inhalation exposure. A dose-response curve is established by modelling experimental data adjusted to apply to human exposure.
