Abstract

This study took place within the framework of a general update of the average
radiation dose for the Dutch population. It focuses on consumer products in which
radionuclides have been intentionally incorporated and on radiation-emitting devices
that can be supplied to members of the public without special surveillance. Eleven
consumer products were studied in more detail. The radiation from these products
determined 90% of the total collective dose due to consumer products in the
Netherlands in 1988. Individual and collective doses are presented here for each
product.
