摘要

The most important parameters in radiological protection related to irradiation of superficial tissues are the nature and depth of the els at risk Hand the depth dose distribution to which they are subjected. This general problem is discussed in the context of exposure of the skin, testes and eye. In the case of the eye a survey of the radiobiological literature concerning animals and humans shows that the epithelial cells of the equatorial region of the lens are those which are involved in cataract induction. The depth of equatorial cells of the lens has been evaluated in the human eye by means of geometrical construction. The relevant dimensions have been determined from a survey of anatomical data supplemented by slit image photography and ultrasonic measurements. In a normal adult working population the minimum depth of equatorial epithelial cells in the lens range from 1.8 to 2.9 mm. The upper and lower values are associated with young and old subjects respectively. Calculations for Sr/Y-90 and Ru/Rh-106 isotropic beta sources give an indication of the range of doses to the target cells which are incurred in a working population - taking account of age dependence and variations in individual eye morphology. Calculations indicate that a planar dosemeter which integrates the tissue dose between depths of 2.5-3.5 mm should give a reasonable measure of the mean equatorial dose. The peak dose may be up to 50% higher. In situations where exposure arises from mixed fission products the dose to the lens is likely to be several times less than the surface/skin dose and several times more than the dose at a depth of 1 cm which is relevant to the evaluation of whole body exposure. The relationship between skin, eye and whole body dose will however be very dependent upon several factors including the particular mixture of radionuclides, the geometry of the source and environment, and the extent of fission product aging. To provide a prognosis in the case of an over exposure each of these factors need to be assessed on an individual basis. Because of the non-uniform exposure of the equatorial cells of the eye lens in beta radiation fields the cataract induction experience of cohorts such as the Japanese bomb survivors may not necessarily be directly applicable to nuclear industry workers exposed to fission and neutron activation products. In the case of acute high dose eye exposures, particularly from weakly penetrating radiations (including hot particle exposures) the possibility ofrncorneal ulceration is likely to be of greatest concern. In the absence of more definitive information it would appear to be defensible to treat this situation, in terms of dose evaluation, in the same way as for skin exposure.
