Use of effective dose
John Harrison,Mikhail Balonov,Colin J. Martin,P. Ortiz López,Hans-Georg Menzel,J. R. Simmonds,Rebecca Smith-Bindman,Richard Wakeford +7 more
TL;DR: This paper focusses on two key proposals developed by the Task Group that are under consideration by ICRP: confusion will be avoided if equivalent dose is no longer used as a protection quantity, but regarded as an intermediate step in the calculation of effective dose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of lung cancer from radon exposure: contribution of recently published studies of uranium miners.
Margot Tirmarche,John Harrison,Dominique Laurier,Eric Blanchardon,François Paquet,J. W. Marsh +5 more
TL;DR: A sensitivity analysis highlighted the high dependence of background mortality rates on LEAR estimates and suggested that the excess relative risk of lung cancer per unit of exposure should be expressed with consideration of chronic exposure over more than 10 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose conversion factors for radon: recent developments
J. W. Marsh,John Harrison,Dominique Laurier,Eric Blanchardon,François Paquet,Margot Tirmarche +5 more
TL;DR: ICRP now proposes to treat radon progeny in the same way as other radionuclides and to publish dose coefficients calculated using models, for use within the ICRP system of protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effective dose from inhaled radon and its progeny.
John Harrison,J.W. Marsh +1 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results of dose calculations for Rn-222 progeny are presented and compared with values obtained using the dose conversion convention, and implications for the setting of reference levels are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The polonium-210 poisoning of Mr Alexander Litvinenko
TL;DR: Comparison with estimates of protracted alpha particle doses required to cause irreversible organ damage supported the conclusion that death was the inevitable consequence of multiple organ failure, with destruction of the haemopoietic bone marrow, as well as damage to kidneys and liver, being important contributors.
