1. General information on radiation and nuclear environments
1.1 Radiation sources
What are the various environments in which radiation is encountered, and what measures can be taken?
-
Our environment (soil, subsoil, atmosphere) naturally emits radiation and particles. The level of activity is generally low (since it is compatible with human and animal life). A typical order of magnitude dose rate in the Paris region, for example, is 10 µrad · h –1 (see units § 1.2 ).
