The absorption efficiency term allows estimation of the effective dose or the amount of pollutant which crosses the membrane of the exposed tissue (e.g., the lung) and reaches a target organ (e.g., the liver). For many pollutants this type of metabolic data is not available and consequently 100% absorption is a common preliminary assumption in exposure assessments. For well-studied substances such as radionuclides, a methodology for calculation of target organ doses has been developed for bone marrow, lungs, endosteal cells, stomach wall, lower intestine wall, thyroid, liver, kidney, testes and ovaries as well as for the total body.
