Doseértékhez

Doseértékhez is a Hungarian term that translates to "dose value" or "dose limit" in English, primarily used in the context of radiation protection and occupational safety. It refers to a maximum permissible level of radiation exposure that an individual can receive over a specific period. These limits are established by regulatory bodies to minimize the health risks associated with ionizing radiation.

The concept of doseértékhez is crucial for ensuring the safety of workers who may be exposed to radiation in their professional lives, such as in nuclear power plants, medical imaging facilities, or research laboratories. It also applies to the general public, where dose limits are set to protect against incidental exposure from various sources.

There are different types of dose values, including those for external and internal exposure, and they are often expressed in units like Sievert (Sv) or millisievert (mSv). These limits are based on extensive scientific research and aim to keep the risks of radiation-induced health effects, such as cancer, at an acceptable level. Monitoring and control measures are implemented to ensure that actual doses remain well below these established doseértékhez.
