Linear energy transfer effects

Differences in the degradation behaviour of polymers in solution as a function of LET has indeed been observed by Henglein and co-workers. The results obtained for various polymers are summarized in Table 35 [442]. The more efficient radiation has been underlined in the cases where the effects of high and low LET are qualitatively the same. For the dilute solutions ( 1%), the more efficient radiation is Li—He in only one [Pg.314]

The range in tissues and linear energy transfer (LET) depend on the type of radiation emitted and its energy. The potent lethality of Auger and low-energy conversion electrons is demonstrated by intranuclear localization of the radioisotope due to their short ranges (about one cell nucleus in diameter). Alpha particles have ranges of several cell diameters (40-90 pm) and are effective in... [Pg.276]

The National Coimdl on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) has been concerned from its inception with assessment of the risks of low-level irradiation. In recent years, this concern has prompted increasingly detailed efforts to quantify the influence of dose, dose rate, and linear energy transfer (LET) on the biomedical effects of radiation, with particular reference to the carcinogenic risks of low-level exposure (NCRP, 1980) and the work-in-progress of NCRP Sdentific Committee 40 on LET and relative biological effectiveness. [Pg.3]
