  • Title: The Chernobyl accident: EPR dosimetry on dental enamel of children.
    Author: Gualtieri G, Colacicchi S, Sgattoni R, Giannoni M.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2001 Jul; 55(1):71-9. PubMed ID: 11339534.
    Abstract:
    The radiation dose on tooth enamel of children living close to Chernobyl has been evaluated by EPR. The sample preparation was reduced to a minimum of mechanical steps to remove a piece of enamel. A standard X-ray tube at low energy was used for additive irradiation. The filtration effect of facial soft tissue was taken into account. The radiation dose for a group of teeth slightly exceeds the annual dose, whereas for another group the dose very much exceeds the annual dose. Since the higher dose is found in teeth whose enamel have much lower EPR sensitivity to the radiation, it can be suggested that for these teeth the native signal could alter the evaluation of the smaller radiation signal.
