ICRP suggested a strategy based on the distinction between protection approach for dwellings and one workplaces in previous recommendations radon. Now, Commission recommends an integrated against radon exposure all buildings irrespective of their purpose status occupants. The buildings, implemented through national action plan, is application optimisation principle below derived reference level concentration (maximum 300 Bq m(-3)). A problem, however, arises that due to new epidemiological...

The radiation detriment in ICRP 103 is defined as the product of organ-specific risk coefficient and damage that may be associated with a cancer type or hereditary effect. This used to indicate weighted according sensitivity different organs severity possibly arise. While refers exposure parameters, extent independent radiation. parameters are not affected by lethality, impairment quality life, reduced life expectancy, which considered quantities disease damage. thus appear mostly quotient...

Abstract The purpose of the ICRP detriment concept is to enable a quantitative comparison stochastic radiation damage for various organs. For this purpose, organ-specific nominal risk coefficients are weighted with function that intended express amount or, respectively, severity disease. This incorporates variety variables do not depend on parameters, but characteristics disease itself. question raised as whether rather subtle way defining necessary protection purposes and much simpler...

Abstract The geological and structural conditions define the radon situation inside a building. While realities can be specified by content of radium-226 ratio radon-222 emitted from ground are defined tightness building envelope. concentration has an unsteady character, which is caused meteorological outside air change rate (ACH or ACR), in turn influenced residents’ behaviour such as venting heating. For assessment exposition, it necessary to perform measurements for long time. An approach...

Exposure to medical ionizing radiation has been increasing over the past decades and constitutes largest contributor overall exposure in general population. While occupational exposures are generally monitored by national protection agencies, individual data on for public not regularly collected. The aim of this study was determine feasibility assessing lifetime from diagnostic therapeutic procedures retrospectively prospectively within framework German National Cohort study.Retrospective...

Present methods estimation quality can only be effected under test conditions, whereby influence residents cannot considered so an daily routine ensured. context this contribution...

This work is part of the analysis effects constructional energy-saving measures to radon concentration levels in dwellings performed on behalf German Federal Office for Radiation Protection. In parallel measurements five buildings, both meteorological data outside buildings and indoor climate factors were recorded. order access inhabited amount carbon dioxide (CO[Formula: see text] was measured. For a statistical linear regression model, one object chosen as an example. Three dummy variables...
