Created page with "The sum of the products of the sex-averaged committed organ- or tissue-equivalent doses, <math>H_T(τ)</math>, and the appropriate tissue weighting factors (<math>w_T</math>),..."
The sum of the products of the sex-averaged committed organ- or tissue-equivalent doses, <math>H_T(τ)</math>, and the appropriate tissue weighting factors (<math>w_T</math>), where <math>τ</math> is the integration time in years following the intake. The commitment period <math>τ</math> is taken to be 50 years for adults, and to 70 years of age for children. (adapted from [[ICRP Publication 103]], 2007)
where <math>τ</math> is the integration time following the intake at time <math>t_0</math>. The quantity committed effective dose <math>E(τ)</math> is then given by:
<div style='text-align: center;'>
<math>
E(τ) = \displaystyle \sum_{T} w_tH_t(τ)
</math>
</div>
