[en] This is a survey of conventional methods and results in the dosimetry of the noble gases, with special reference to the environmental considerations relating to nuclear energy applications. Radon problems will be excluded, as will all issues specific to medical applications of the gases. (Physiological input data from medical work is, of course, an important part of the required dosimetry information.) Among the dosimetry methods is the well-known Monte Carlo method of W. Snyder, et al., at ORNL. This will be briefly put in perspective, as a relevant paper by the ORNL group is included in this volume. The normally low and variable concentrations of the mixed noble gases in the environment lead to problems both in ''calculational dosimetry'' and in field measurements. The phases selected for comment will mainly relate to reasonable perspective in accounting for such secondary and tertiary intake pathways as the drinking of water containing dissolved noble gases
