Area of Science:

  • Nuclear medicine
  • Radiopharmaceutical safety
  • Radiation oncology

Background:

  • 90Y-labeled resin microspheres (RMs) are used in selective internal radiation therapy.
  • A recommended cleanup procedure exists for 90Y-RM contamination spills.
  • A recent clinical incident prompted an investigation into the effectiveness of this procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficiency of different cleaning procedures for 90Y-RM contamination.
  • To compare the effectiveness of various cleaning methods against the recommended procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Controlled spills of 90Y-RMs were created on vinyl tile flooring within contained areas.
  • Three cleaning methods were tested: damp paper towels (recommended), adhesive paper, and a Swiffer Wet Mop (SWM).
  • Geiger counter measurements determined pre- and post-cleaning radiation exposure; Kruskal-Wallis tests analyzed data.

Main Results:

  • Both damp paper towels and the SWM were significantly more effective than adhesive paper (P < 0.001).
  • No significant difference was found between the effectiveness of damp paper towels and the SWM (P = 0.6826).
  • The variability in cleanup effectiveness did not differ between the damp paper towels and SWM methods (P = 0.2501).

Conclusions:

  • Damp paper towels and the Swiffer Wet Mop provide equal decontamination for 90Y-RM spills.
  • The SWM is a viable and effective alternative for cleaning up 90Y contamination.
  • Findings support the use of SWM as an effective tool in managing radioactive contamination incidents.
