We consider particles diffusing in a uniform medium and being absorbed by statistically distributed spherical sinks. We study the average diffusion–absorption equation, as derived to first order in the sink density by multiple-scattering theory. We show that for perfect sinks this equation must be modified to take proper account of instantaneous absorption of particles created inside the sinks.
