Les éléments radioactifs peuvent entrer dans l'organisme par deux voies principales : l'appareil respiratoire et l'appareil digestif; ils entraînent alors l'exposition aux rayonnements de plusieurs tissus ou organes : tout d'abord les tissus des voies d'entrée (poumons, estomac, intestins), ensuite les tissus dans lesquels, entraînés par le sang, ils peuvent aller se localiser selon leurs propriétés physico-chimiques qui déterminent leur métabolisme tant au niveau de l'organisme qu'à celui de chaque organe ou tissu. 4, record 1, French, - radio%C3%A9l%C3%A9ment
