Abstract

This paper reviews biokinetic data for the Group VB elements vanadium, niobium, and tantalum, and presents biokinetic models describing their systemic behaviour. The model for systemic niobium in adults was developed earlier and described in Publication 134 of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. The model for niobium is used as a starting point for the development of models for vanadium and tantalum. Published biokinetic data for vanadium, including comparisons with niobium, indicate that the initial distribution of vanadium is broadly similar to that of niobium but that vanadium is less firmly fixed in most tissues and is excreted more rapidly than niobium. Biokinetic data for tantalum are more limited but suggest that its systemic behaviour closely resembles that of niobium at early times after administration. The model for niobium is proposed for application to tantalum in view of the suggested biological similarities of tantalum and niobium, their generally strong coherence in nature due to similar ionic radii and identical valence states, and the difficulties in developing parameter values directly from available data for tantalum. In conclusion, the proposed model for vanadium relies largely on vanadium-specific information and varies considerably from the model for niobium.

A Generic Biokinetic Model for C-14

Journal Article Manger, Ryan P - Radiation Protection Dosimetry

The generic biokinetic model currently recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) for the treatment of systemic radiocarbon assumes uniform distribution of activity in tissues and a biological half-time of 40 d. This model is intended to generate cautiously high estimates of dose per unit intake of C-14 and, in fact, generally predicts a much higher effective dose than systemic models that have been developed on the basis of biokinetic studies of specific carbon compounds. The simplistic model formulation precludes its application as a bioassay model or adjustment to fit case-specific bioassay data. This paper proposes a newmore »« less

A biokinetic model for zinc for use in radiation protection

Journal Article Leggett, Richard Wayne - Science of the Total Environment, The

The physiology of the essential trace element zinc has been studied extensively in human subjects using kinetic analysis of time-dependent measurements of administered zinc tracers. A number of biokinetic models describing zinc exchange between plasma and tissues and loss of systemic zinc in excreta have been developed from the derived data. More rudimentary biokinetic models for zinc have been developed to estimate radiation doses from internally deposited radioisotopes of zinc. The latter models are designed to provide broadly accurate estimates of cumulative decays of zinc radioisotopes in tissues and are not intended as realistic descriptions of the directions of movementmore »« less

A biokinetic model for trivalent or hexavalent chromium in adult humans

Journal Article Hiller, M. M. ; Leggett, R. W. - Journal of Radiological Protection

Chromium exists in several oxidation states, with the trivalent state (Cr(III)) being the dominant naturally occurring form. Chromium in other oxidation states tends to be converted to the trivalent oxide in the natural environment and in biological systems. Chromium(III) has been shown to be an essential nutrient for humans and several non-human species. Chromium(VI), the second most stable form of chromium, is an important environmental contaminant that is mostly of industrial origin and is associated with lung cancer and nose tumours in chromium workers. This paper proposes a biokinetic model for chromium that addresses the distinctive behaviours of Cr(III) andmore »« less

Biokinetic models for group IVB elements

Journal Article Leggett, Richard Wayne ; Samuels, Caleigh - Journal of Radiological Protection

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is updating its biokinetic models in a series of reports titled Occupational Intakes of Radionuclides (OIR series). This paper provides an overview of biokinetic data for the group IVB elements hafnium (Hf) and titanium (Ti), compares these data with findings for the more extensively studied Group IVB element zirconium (Zr), and proposes biokinetic models for systemic Hf and Ti for use in the OIR series. A biokinetic model for systemic Zr recently adopted by the ICRP is proposed for application to Hf in view of the nearly identical chemical and physical properties ofmore »« less

Updated biokinetic model for systemic americium

Journal Article Leggett, Rich Wayne ; Blanchardon, Eric - Journal of Radiological Protection

The biokinetic model for systemic americium (Am) currently recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) for application to occupational intake of Am is based on information available through the early 1990s. Much additional information on Am biokinetics has been developed in the past 25 y, including measurements of retention and excretion of ²⁴¹Am in many workers with ²⁴¹Am burdens and post mortem measurements of ²⁴¹Am in tissues of some of those workers. The ICRP's current Am model is reasonably consistent with the updated information, with the main exception that the current model apparently overestimates 24-hour urinary Am asmore »« less
