As seen from Table IV, using Geesaman's lung model, a
particle with an alpha activity between 0.02 pCi and 0.14

pCi

is recuirai to give a dose of 1000 rem/yr to irradiated lung
tissue.

For purposes of establishing a maximum permissible

lung particie burden we will use 0.07 pCi
lived

(greater than one year)

from long haltf-

isotopes as the limiting

aloha activity to qualizy as a hot particle.

Thus, throughout

the remaincer of this resort, hot particle will imply a particle
with at least this limitins aloha activity which is insoluble
