ABSORBED DOSE

Specialty Definition: ABSORBED DOSE

DomainDefinition

Environment

In exposure assessment, the amount of a substance that penetrates an exposed organism's absorption barriers (e.g. skin, lung tissue, gastrointestinal tract) through physical or biological processes. The term is synonymous with internal dose. (references)

Physics

Absorbed dose of radiation or corpuscular emission is the energy imparted to matter by ionizing particles, par unit mass of the irradiated material at the place of interest. Source: European Union. (references)
 The quotient d epsilon/dm, where d epsilon is the energy imparted to matter by ionising radiation in a suitably small element of volume of mass dm. Source: European Union. (references)

Public Administration

Quantity of a polluting substance, drug or radiation taken up by a person, a community or the environment. Source: European Union. (references)
