I am enrolled in a Radiation Safety Course in Canada, and we are currently doing Radiological and Biological half-life calculations where these combine for the effective half-life received from an intake.  While the formula is pretty straight forward, I am finding it difficult to find the Biological half-life listed for many nuclides.

Would anyone know of a chart with this information on it?

I appreciate any response.

A quick google for biological half life led to this...

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/nuclear/biohalf.html

that's a start - try and get a copy of the Rad HEalth Handbook - it may have more data in it.

Good luck, and keep studyin...
Remember who you love. Remember what is sacred. Remember what is true.
Remember that you will die, and that this day is a gift. Remember how you wish to live, may the blessing of the Lord be with you
