Physical and Biological Dosimetry for Risk Perception in Radioprotection
The increase in ionizing radiation (IR) applications, especially nuclear, has been followed by the growth of public concern for the potential associated risks. The public’s perception of such risks is often based on the philosophy that IR is harmful at any exposure level. On the other hand, although radiation workers have knowledge about the nature of IR and its potential health effects, the re...
متن کاملA Novel Biological Dosimetry Method for Monitoring Occupational Radiation Exposure in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Wards: From Radiation Dosimetry to Biological Effects
Background and Objective: Professional radiation workers are occupationally exposed to long-term low levels of ionizing radiation. Occupational health hazards from radiation exposure, in a large occupational segment of the population, are of special concern. Biological dosimetry can be performed in addition to physical dosimetry with the aim of individual dose assessment and biological effects....
متن کاملStatistical Methods for Biological Dosimetry
Statistical methods most commonly employed at HPA for purposes of biological dosimetry by analysis of chromosomal aberrations in blood lymphocytes are reviewed and discussed together with worked examples. They serve to illustrate practical aspects of the techniques. A novel method of computation of dose and the corresponding 95% limits, taking into account both the Poisson derived uncertainties...
