“…For municipal drinking water, a limited amount of information is available on the removal of radionuclides by water treatment ( Lindsten et al 1965 ; Denham and Soldat 1975 ; Goossens et al 1989 ; Napier 1993 ; Brown and Hammond 2009 ).…”

This paper suggests values or probability distributions for a variety of parameters used in estimating internal doses from radioactive fallout due to ingestion of food. Parameters include those needed to assess the interception and initial retention of radionuclides by vegetation, translocation of deposited radionuclides to edible plant parts, root uptake by plants, transfer of radionuclides from vegetation into milk and meat, transfer of radionuclides into non-agricultural plants and wildlife, and transfer from food and drinking water to mother's milk (human breast milk). The paper includes discussions of the weathering half-life for contamination on plant surfaces, biological half-lives of organisms, food processing (culinary factors), and contamination of drinking water. As appropriate, and as information exists, parameter values or distributions are specific for elements, chemical forms, plant types, or other relevant characteristics. Information has been obtained from the open literature and from publications of the International Atomic Energy Agency. These values and probability distributions are intended to be generic; they should be reviewed for applicability to a given location, time period, or season of the year, as appropriate. In particular, agricultural practices and dietary habits may vary considerably both with geography and over time in a given location.

“…Concentration ratios are simply a ratio of the observed quantity of an element or radionuclideper fresh weight of aquatic organism to the concentration of the material in the water Denham and Soldat (1975), are also listed in Table J.6. The water treatment cleanup factor der, otes the fractional reduction in the concentration of an element in water as a result of water treatment operations.…”
