Uit de publicatie:
Some types of radiation can penetrate the human body, and produce highly reactive,
electrically charged atoms and molecules ("ions") and free electrons in the material
making up individual cells. This ''ionizing" radiation, when received in very small
amounts, has been termed ''low-level radiation". Examples of low-level radiation
abound: we receive it from the natural environment (e.g. the earth, building
materials, our food) and from man-made sources (certain medical diagnoses and
treatments, some consumer products such as colour television sets, and nuclear
power plants, among others).
The relative amounts of radiation that people receive from these sources on
average, are shown in Figure 1.
An "average" individual might receive about 100 millirem per year from
atural sources (see box on page 7 for description of the term "millirem").
