Enrichment chains
 scroll 
Radioactive isotopes of an element behave chemically
in the same way as its non-radioactive isotopes. They can thus deplete
or enrich in plants, animals and in the human body. Such an enrichment
chain exists e.g. in the case of iodine. Iodine is finally enriched
in the human thyroid gland via air - grass - cow - milk. These enrichment
processes are known and can be calculated. To avoid higher radiation
exposure in the corresponding organs due to the enrichment chains, the
admissible release values for such radioactive substances are fixed
correspondingly low. The dose limit values prescribed by laws and
regulations must not be exceeded - not even by enrichment effects.
