Calculating Radon Doses
</br>
'''Radon levels (in [[Radon: Units of Measure|Bq/m<sup>3</sup>]]) are used directly to control radon levels in homes and most workplaces. However, sometimes it is necessary to calculate the effective dose due to radon exposure for some workplaces.'''
 
ICRP develops [[ICRPædia Guide to Dose Coefficients|dose coefficients]] to simplify the calculation of [[Absorbed, Equivalent, and Effective Dose|equivalent dose and effective dose]] for inhaled or ingested radionuclides.
 
In simplest terms, calculating the dose from inhaling radon involves multiplying the average radon level (e.g. in [[Radon: Units of Measure|Bq/m<sup>3</sup>]]) by the time spent, and the right [[ICRPædia Guide to Dose Coefficients|dose coefficient]].
