What is the effective dose from 0.050 Ci of 21084Pothat is ingested that is ingested by a 70 kg person? Assume anexposure time of 24 hours. 21084Po decays to the stableisotope 20682Pb by alpha emission. Since the exposure ismuch shorter than the half-life, you can assume that the activityremains constant. Alpha particles have an RBE of 20.
