ICRP is International Commission on Radiological Protection, Report of Committee IT (1959); Task Group is
and Bair
Task Group on Lung Dynamics (Morrow, 1966) as modified in ICRP-19 (1972); SDB is Stuart, Dionne,
(1968, 1971); Modified is our modifications to the SDB model (Bloom and Martin, 1974).
URT is upper respiratory tract which includes the nasopharyngeal and tracheobronchial regions.

Particle size assumed to be 0.5 um activity mean aerodynamic diameter.
