Question
Chapter 19, Problem 51A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The source of radiation to which humans are exposed naturally is to be discussed and compared with acceptable level of exposure.
Concept introduction:
The radiations are measured in unit rem.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 51A
Source of radiations to which human is exposed naturally:
- Cosmic rays
- Earth
- Building material
- Human tissues
- Inhalation of air
The tolerable exposure is 198 rem in a year.
Explanation of Solution
Source of radiations to which human is exposed naturally with its value is:
Source | Exposure (millirems/year) |
Cosmic rays | 50 |
Earth | 47 |
Building material | 3 |
Human tissues | 21 |
Inhalation of air | 5 |
Total | 126 |
The dose of radiation which is non-detectable lies in range 0-25 rems
Total exposure comparison=
=198
Conclusion
Source of radiations to which human is exposed naturally are Cosmic rays, Earth, Building material, Human tissues, Inhalation of air. These cause 126 millirems/year exposure to humans.
And the tolerable exposure is 198 rem in a year.
