Subject field(s)

Tritium gas is only slightly soluble in body fluids and tissues and hence it is only the tritium gas contained in air within the lung which contributes significantly to doses of ionizing radiation received from inhaled tritium gas.

CONT

Comme le tritium à l'état gazeux n'est que peu soluble dans les tissus et les fluides de l'organisme, c'est seulement celui qui se trouve dans l'air des poumons qui contribue de façon importante aux doses de rayonnement ionisant dues à la respiration de tritium à l'état gazeux.
