Radiation Exposure Levels Statistics
Radiation exposure levels statistics provide crucial information on the amount of radiation individuals are exposed to in various situations, helping to assess potential health risks and inform safety guidelines.
In this post, we will explore various statistics related to radiation exposure levels, shedding light on the average doses encountered by individuals in different contexts. From everyday sources like background radiation and medical procedures to more extreme scenarios such as nuclear disasters and space travel, these statistics offer a comprehensive overview of the varying levels of radiation to which people may be exposed.
Statistic 1
"In the United States, a typical person is exposed to an average of approximately 620 millirem of radiation per year."
Statistic 2
"Worldwide, exposure to natural sources of radiation averages to about 2.4 millisievert (mSv) a year."
Statistic 3
"A nuclear power industry worker is exposed to about 1 mSv additional average annual radiation dose."
Statistic 4
"An intercontinental flight can expose one to 0.02 mSv/flight."
Statistic 5
"The dose limit for radiation workers, the people who can be exposed most to radiation at work, is 20 mSv per year."
Statistic 6
"The global average exposure to radon is 1.26 mSv per year, accounting for a sizable portion of exposure to natural radiation."
Statistic 7
"The average American is exposed to about 300 millirems of radiation per year from natural sources."
Statistic 8
"Nuclear medicine has a radiation exposure range from 0.7 to 20 mSv."
Statistic 9
"Interventional fluoroscopy procedures can have a radiation exposure range from 5 to 70 mSv."
Statistic 10
"Residents of Fukushima Prefecture, in Japan, received an average dose of 1 to 5 millisieverts (mSv) in 2012 following the nuclear disaster in 2011."
Statistic 11
"In Denver, Colorado, residents are exposed to nearly twice the amount of radiation from background sources, or approximately 1.2 mSv/year, compared with coastal areas."
Statistic 12
"A mammogram contributes an average radiation dose of 0.4 mSv."
Statistic 13
"Even in space, the daily dose received by astronauts is about 1.6 mSv."
Statistic 14
"Inhabitants of Ramsar, a district in Iran, are subjected to some of the highest levels of natural radiation in the world, at an average annual dose of 260 millisieverts per year."
