Male and female F344/crl rats were exposed via inhalation to alpha [plutonium-238 ( ²³⁸Pu )] or beta [yttrium-90 ( ⁹⁰Y ), promethium-147 ( ¹⁴⁷Pm ), or strontium-90 ( ⁹⁰Sr )] emitting radionuclides or specific combinations (plutonium-238 + ¹⁴⁷Pm; ⁹⁰Y + ⁹⁰Sr) in insoluble fused aluminosilicate particles (FAP). Databases for evaluating morbidity and mortality to 1.5 years after inhalation exposure are provided. Both deterministic and stochastic biological effects were recorded. This website provides the dosimetric and biological effects data obtained. The data were taken from the following reports and can be used in developing models for application to radiological terrorism risk assessment:
