Decontamination of rat and human skin experimentally contaminated with 99mTc, 201Tl and 131I radionuclides using “Dermadecon” – a skin decontamination kit: an efficacy study
Abstract:Radioactive skin contamination is one of the most likely risks which occurs after accidental or occupational radiological accidents apart from internal contamination. In such cases where the radioactive contamination has occurred, the person who is contaminated should be decontaminated as early as possible to reduce the damaging health effects of radiation. In the present study, the decontamination efficiency of a developed skin decontamination kit "dermadecon" has been evaluated in animal models and human sub… Show more
