Based on the performed analysis, it was concluded that the mosteffective decontamination product was DM-D (Decontamination Material-D) for 99mTc, 18F-DG, 131I and 201Tl.Effectiveness analysis of DM-D for 99mTc contamination on various surfaces showed that decontamination wasquite fast on scrubsand formica and that DM-D was very effective on skin but not on plastic floor covering material.The effectiveness of various molecular groups in the decontaminant was also investigated.

Abstract

In this study, several decontamination products were analysed in terms of their effciency indecontaminating the radioactives 99mTc, 18F-DG, 131I and201Tl from contaminated surfaces. Furthermore, theperformance of existing commercial washers was examined and it was observed that it was far from the desiredlevels. Also, it was determined that the temperature and pH were the most important factors in the decontaminationprocess of 99mTc where as alcohol had no effect. Based on the performed analysis, it was concluded that the mosteffective decontamination product was DM-D (Decontamination Material-D) for 99mTc, 18F-DG, 131I and 201Tl.Effectiveness analysis of DM-D for 99mTc contamination on various surfaces showed that decontamination wasquite fast on scrubsand formica and that DM-D was very effective on skin but not on plastic floor covering material.The effectiveness of various molecular groups in the decontaminant was also investigated. As a result, the acetategroup was observed as the most effective component of the decontaminant

Özet

Bu çalışmada, radyoaktif Tc-99m, F-18-DG, I-131 ve Tl-201 ile kontamine olmuş yüzeylerindekontaminasyonu için birçok dekontaminasyon malzemesinin etkinliği analiz edildi. Ayrıca mevcut ticariradyoaktivif temizleyicilerin performansları incelendi ve bunların beklenilen seviyelerden uzak olduğu gözlemlendi.Yine, yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda dekontaminasyon üzerine alkolün etkisinin olmadığı, sıcaklığın ve pH’ın iseTc-99m’in dekontaminasyon sürecinde önemli faktörler olduğu belirlendi. Yapılan analizler ışığında, Tc-99m,F-18-DG, I-131 ve Tl-201 için en etkili dekontaminasyon ürününün DM-D (Dekontaminasyon materyal-D) olduğusonucuna varıldı. Tc-99m ile kontamine olmuş çeşitli yüzeylerdeki DM-D’nin etkinlik analizi dekontaminasyonunformika ve giysiler üzerinde oldukça hızlı olduğunu ve DM-D’nin deri üzerinde çok etkili olduğunu ancak kaplamamateryali plastik olan zemin üzerinde hiçbir etkisinin olmadığını gösterdi. Ayrıca, dekontaminasyondaki çeşitlimoleküler grupların etkinliği incelendi. Sonuç olarak, asetat grubunun dekontaminasyonda en etkili komponentolduğu gözlemlendi.
