A. ASSESSMENTS OF RADIATION LEVELS AND DOSES

12. In this report, as in previous ones, the Committee has systematically reviewed all
the sources of ionizing radiation that give rise to human exposure, namely, natural
sources, nuclear explosions, nuclear power production, use of radiation for medical,
industrial and research purposes, and radiation-emitting consumer products. Both
occupational exposures (that is, the exposures incurred during the course of work)
and non-occupational exposures have been considered. For each source of ionizing
radiation, the results are expressed in two ways. On the one hand, results are given
in terms of individual doses, which from an individual point of view show the
relative importance of the type of work, the place of residence, or particular habits.
On the other hand, collective doses have also been used. As these are the sum of
the individual doses resulting from a given source, they provide an index of the
total health impact of that source. The use of collective doses permits comparison
of the impact from a wide range of dissimilar sources or practices giving rise to
ionizing radiation.
