Dóziskorlátokat

Dóziskorlátokat is a Hungarian term that translates to "dose limits" or "dose ceilings" in English. This concept is primarily used in the context of radiation protection and occupational health. It refers to the maximum allowable dose of ionizing radiation that individuals can be exposed to over a specific period, typically a year, without posing an unacceptable risk to their health.

These limits are established by regulatory bodies based on scientific recommendations from organizations like the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). The purpose of dose limits is to prevent deterministic effects of radiation, such as skin burns or cataracts, and to reduce the probability of stochastic effects, like cancer, to a level considered acceptable.

Dose limits are generally set for different groups of individuals, including workers in radiation industries (occupational exposure) and the general public (public exposure). For workers, the limits are typically higher than for the public, reflecting the unavoidable nature of some exposure in their profession and the established safety measures. Specific limits are often defined for the whole body, as well as for particular organs or tissues that may be more sensitive to radiation.

The effective dose is a key concept used in dose limitation, representing the overall risk to the whole body from radiation exposure. It is calculated by weighting the doses received by different organs and tissues according to their sensitivity. Monitoring and record-keeping of radiation doses received by individuals are essential to ensure compliance with these established dóziskorlátokat.
