Management of radon: a review of ICRP recommendations.
This article proposes a review of past and current ICRP publications dealing with the management of radon exposures. Its main objective is to identify and discuss the driving factors that have been used by the Commission during the last 50 years so as to better appreciate current issues regarding radon exposure management. The analysis shows that major evolutions took place in very recent years...
متن کاملDosimetric models of the eye and lens of the eye and their use in assessing dose coefficients for ocular exposures.
Based upon recent epidemiological studies of ocular exposure, the Main Commission of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) in ICRP Publication 118 states that the threshold dose for radiation-induced cataracts is now considered to be approximately 0.5 Gy for both acute and fractionated exposures. Consequently, a reduction was also recommended for the occupational annual...
متن کاملAn Introduction to the Estimation of Risks Arising from Exposure to Low Doses of Ionising Radiation
Exposure to ionising radiation leads to a radiation dose. The main health effect of low levels of radiation dose is an increase in the chance of developing cancer. The radiation risk factor quantifies the level of risk caused by a given amount of radiation dose, i.e. there will be an X% risk of getting cancer per unit of dose received. This document provides an introduction to the risks from ex...
متن کاملA Bayesian analysis of uncertainties on lung doses resulting from occupational exposures to uranium.
In a recent epidemiological study, Bayesian estimates of lung doses were calculated in order to determine a possible association between lung dose and lung cancer incidence resulting from occupational exposures to uranium. These calculations, which produce probability distributions of doses, used the human respiratory tract model (HRTM) published by the International Commission on Radiological ...
متن کاملMethodological aspects of the implementation of the new ICRP recommendations
With the ICRP recommendations Publications 103, 109 and 111 (ICRP, 2007; ICRP 2009a, 2009b), new concepts and quantities have been introduced into emergency management and rehabilitation. two of them will possibly influence national procedures, but for sure they will influence countermeasure simulation approaches: 1. the concept of a “reference level” for emergency and existing controllable exp...
