Resumo
A dose reconstruction study was performed for personnel occupationally exposed to 131I in radiopharmaceutical
production, during the years 1981 to 1994, with the objective of estimating committed effective doses and critically reviewing
the main causes of their exposures. The workers were selected from a group responsible for the production, labelling and distribution of all radiopharmaceutical material in Brazil. Best estimates of intakes and doses were derived from the examination of
the individual monitoring records and the reports from the radiation protection supervisor, complemented by interviews with the
workers and with radiation protection officers. Over this time period workers had chronic as well as acute intakes of 131I.
Committed effective doses were found to be dependent on the task performed by the worker and the site of operation and inversely
correlated with the amounts of iodine handled. Intakes in general were a consequence of inadequate radiation protection control.
