Exposure, Internal
Exposure, Internal :
Irradiation from a radioactive substance inside the body. A radioactive substance may be inhaled, as a radioactive gas or particles suspended in air, or ingested in radioactive dust, or water contaminated with radioactive substances. It may also enter the body through a cut in the skin. Some of these substances will decay in a very short time, or the body may excrete them. Others may lodge in body tissue, where they will continue to emit radiation
