摘要
Current dosimetric models for radioactive methane assume 1% of inhaled methane is absorbed, all 3 14 activity is converted immediately to [H-3]H2O, and C-14 activity is converted immediately to [C-14]CO2 (50%) and organically bound carbon (50%). Results of a pilot study using rats to test these models suggest the models overestimate uptake but underestimate organic fixation of H-3 and C-14, especially in liver. Also, the biokinetic properties of organically bound 3 H and C-14 in liver were markedly different from other tissues. Preliminary dose estimates based on observed uptake and organic fixation of label suggest current methane models likely overestimate radiation doses from radioactive methane by 3- to 10-fold.
