Abstrakt: Background: The paper presents the results of dosimetric measurements routinely performed by the Radiation Protection Department of the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine (NIOM) in Łódź in 2022 for people occupationally exposed to X and γ radiation.
Material and Methods: The evaluation of the effective dose as part of individual dosimetry was provided using the film or thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD). Additionally, based exclusively on the TLD method, measurements of the ambient dose equivalent H*(10) and personal dose equivalents Hp(0.07) and Hp(3) were performed. In 2022, the dosimetric service of the Radiological Protection Department of the NIOM covered >30 000 workers employed in >4500 laboratories (mainly health care departments). All measurements were performed in accordance with accredited research procedures (number AB 327).
Results: In 2022, the average annual dose of Hp(10) was equal to 0.26 mSv, whereas Hp(0.07) measured using ring and wrist dosimetry was equal to 0.63 mSv and 0.78 mSv, respectively. In turn, the average Hp(3) value was 0.21 mSv. In 2022, there was not a single case of exceeding the annual dose limit among people measured by the NIOM.
Conclusions: The data collected in the "Dosimetry" database of the NIOM and a detailed analysis of annual doses received by people occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation indicate a well-functioning radiological protection system in Poland. Med Pr Work Health Saf. 2024;75(5):415-423.
