ICRP recommendations for occupational exposure to natural radiation
Description
This paper presents the current ICRP views on occupational exposure to radon in mines. The history of the present recommendations is reviewed and the latest proposals outlined. The levels of exposure to radon in mines around the world are examined to determine the extent of the problem of controlling radon exposure. Finally the new model of the respiratory tract is discussed in the context of its predictions of the doses from radon and from particulate natural radionuclides. 23 refs., 8 tabs
