Wear extremity and whole body dosimeters while handling mCi (37 MBq) quantities. 32 Handle millicuirie (37 MBq) quantities of P behind 1-cm (0.375-in.)-thick Lucite shielding. Where necessary, increase shielding by attaching 3-mm to 6-mm (0.125-in. to 0.25-in.)-thick lead sheets to the outside of the Lucite to reduce secondary radiation. Do not work over open containers. 32 Practice routine operations to improve dexterity and speed before using P. Avoid skin exposure by using tools to indirectly handle unshielded sources and potentially contaminated vessels. 32 Prohibit eating, drinking, smoking and mouth pipetting in room where P is handled. Use transfer pipettes, spill trays and absorbent coverings to confine contamination. Handle potentially volatile chemical forms in ventilated enclosures. If airborne activity is suspected, sample exhausted effluent and room air by continuously drawing a known volume through membrane filters. Use lab coat, wrist guards and disposable gloves for secondary protection. Regularly monitor and promptly decontaminate gloves and surfaces to maintain contamination and exposure control. 32 Use pancake or end-window Geiger-Mueller detectors, NaI (T1) detector or liquid scintillation counter to detect P. 32 Submit urine samples for bioassay from two hours to seven days after handling P to indicate uptake by personnel. Isolate waste in clearly labeled shielded containers and hold for decay. Establish surface contamination, air concentration and urinalysis action levels below regulatory limits. Investigate and correct causes that may threaten these levels to be exceeded. 32 On completing an operation, secure all P; remove protective clothing; dispose of protective coverings; monitor and decontaminate self and surfaces; wash hands and monitor them again. 32 The dose rate at the mouth of an open combi-vial containing 1 mCi (37 MBq) of P in 1 mL of liquid is roughly 22 rem/hr (260 mSv/hr). Since this dose rate will not be attenuated significantly by air, shielding materials should be placed between the 32 source and personnel to absorb most of the radiation. The best shield for a P source is a material like Lucite® 1 cm (0.375 in) thick, or other plastic that will absorb the beta particles while generating little secondary radiation. For millicurie (37 MBq) 32 amounts of P, thin, high-density shielding, such as lead 3-6 mm (0.125-0.25 in) thick, should be added to the exterior of the Lucite® shield to absorb the more penetrating secondary radiation. A high local dose can be received if the radioactive material is touched and allowed to remain on the skin or glove s. Both the 32 hands and face can receive a considerable dose of radiation near an open container of P, particularly if the radioactivity is in a 32 concentrated form. Therefore, never work over an open container of P.
