Summary
In occupational radiation protection and in emergency situations, fast assessment of nasal mucus contamination may represent a valuable tool, in that it enables to quickly obtain indication for possible administration of appropriate chelating agents or equivalent drugs to workers or other potentially contaminated people, e.g. in a mass accident.
With the aim of bypassing the typical time-consuming and sometimes complex radiochemical procedures used in quantitative determinations of virtually every alpha emitting radionuclide by alpha spectrometry, in this work we present the validation of an original and simple analytical method exploiting high resolution gamma spectrometry for the quantitative determination of Am-241 in nasal mucus samples.
