Breathing rates assumed: 1-year old, 5.6 m3/d; 4-year old,
7.0 m3/d; 14-year old, 13.5 m3/d; adult, 20 m3/d. Organic and

inorganic forms of radioiodine give the same dose via inhalation.

**

Dose in first year.

Maximum dose rate after equilibrium is

reached between thyroid burden and intake rate would be 1.09
times this value.
