skos:definition "A classification used to distinguish between the different rates at which <br/>
inhaled radionuclides are transferred from the respiratory tract to the blood.<br/>
Reference [29] classifies materials into three 'lung absorption types':<br/>(a) Type F (fast) are materials that are readily absorbed into the blood;<br/>(b) Type M (moderate) are materials that have intermediate rates of <br/>
absorption into the blood;<br/>
(c) Type S (slow) are materials that are relatively insoluble and are only <br/>
slowly absorbed into the blood.<br/>
The 'lung absorption types' supersede the <i><b>inhalation classes</b></i> D (days), M <br/>(months) and Y (years) previously recommended in Ref. [15] (often referred <br/>
to informally as ‘lung classes’). There is an approximate correspondence <br/>between 'lung absorption type' F and 'inhalation class' D, between <i>lung <br/>absorption type</i> M and 'inhalation class' M and between 'lung absorption type' S <br/>and 'inhalation class' Y.<br/>See also 'gut transfer factor', a similar concept for ingested radionuclides in the <br/>gastrointestinal tract.<br/>" (en)
