Ingestion
With respect to Radiation Protection , ingestion describes one possible mode by which Radioactive materials may enter the body and therefore present an Internal Radiation protection hazard.
Ingestion: Type of exposure through the mouth.
Inhalation: Type of exposure through the lungs.
Ingestion: Swallowing (such as eating or drinking). Chemicals in or on food, drink, utensils, cigarettes, hands, etc. can be ingested. After ingestion, chemicals may be absorbed into the blood and distributed throughout the body.
ingestion
Process of taking food and drink into the body by mouth.
Process of taking in particles by a phagocytic cell.
inhalation
Act of drawing in of air, vapor or gas and any suspended particulates into the lung.
Ingestion
The act of swallowing something through eating, drinking, or mouthing objects. A hazardous substance can enter the body this way [see route of exposure].
Ingestion
The introduction of a chemical into the body through the mouth. Inhaled chemicals may be trapped in saliva and swallowed.
Ingestion
The taking in of a substance through the mouth for digestion.
Inhalable Particles ...
Routes of exposure to people are generally through ingestion, such as eating, contact with the skin, or inhalation. The most significant potential routes of exposure are trough ingestion and contact with the skin.
This includes Absorption (from the moment of entry at ingestion or initial exposure), Distribution (and transport throughout the body), ...
The ingestion of large amounts has caused seizures and death. Liver and kidney effects and immune suppression has been observed at moderate ingestion levels. Lindane is considered to be a carcinogen, and has been associated with liver cancer.
The derived limit for the permissible amount of radioactive material taken into the body of an adult radiation worker by inhalation or ingestion in a year.
Organisms are exposed to toxicants after discharge and upon exposure, ingestion, inhalation, or assimilation into any organism, either directly from the environment or indirectly by ingestion through food chains.
The disease can be transmitted through ingestion of drinking water, person-to-person contact, or other pathways, and can cause acute diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, and can be fatal as it was in the Milwaukee episode.
Quantity of material introduced into the body by inhalation, ingestion, or through the skin.
Internal Dose
That portion of the dose equivalent received from radioactive material taken into the body.
waterborne disease outbreak The significant occurrence of acute infectious illness, epidemiologically associated with the ingestion of water from a public water system that is deficient in treatment, ...
Noncontact recreation: Recreational pursuits not involving a significant risk of water ingestion, including fishing, commercial and recreational boating, and limited body contact incidental to shoreline activity. Compare contact recreation.
Exposure Route- The way a chemical or pollutant enters an organism after contact; i.e. by ingestion, inhalation, or dermal absorption.
Exposure-Response Relationship- The relationship between exposure level and the incidence of adverse effects.
Child Resistant Packaging (CRP): Packaging that protects children or adults from injury or illness resulting from accidental contact with or ingestion of residential pesticides that meet or exceed specific toxicity levels.
Route of Exposure: The means by which toxic agents gain access to an organism such as ingestion, inhalation, dermal exposures; and intravenous, subcutaneous, intermuscular administrations.
RTU: Roof top unit; a packaged AHU unit on the roof.
Route of Exposure: The avenue by which a chemical comes into contact with an organism, e.g., inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact, injection.
Rubbish: Solid waste, excluding food waste and ashes, from homes, institutions, and workplaces.
