L'analyse des données sur les niveaux de l'irradiation naturelle en Chine a permis de recommander des valeurs types pour l'irradiation gamma terrestre, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des habitations, ainsi que l'équivalent de dose efficace pour les produits de filiation du radon et du thoron. On estime à 2,3 mSv l'équivalent de dose efficace annuel dû à l'irradiation naturelle des habitants, dont 0,54 mSv dû au rayonnement gamma terrestre et environ 0,8 mSv dû au radon et à ses descendants à vie courte.
Abstract
On the basis of analyzing the data for the natural background radiation level in China, the typical values for indoor and outdoor terrestrial gamma radiation and effective dose equivalents from radon and thoron daughters are recommended. The annual effective dose equivalent from natural radiation to the inhabitant is estimated to be 2.3 mSv, in which 0.54 mSv is from terrestrial gamma radiation and about 0.8 mSv is from radon and its short-lived daughters.
