What is the effective dose from 0.050 Ci of 21084Po that is ingested that is ingested by a 70 kg person? Assume an exposure time of 24 hours. 21084Po decays to the stable isotope 20682Pb by alpha emission. Since the exposure is much shorter than the half-life, you can assume that the activity remains constant. Alpha particles have an RBE of 20.
