→Dose Limits
These limits apply only to doses received above the normal local [[Sources of Radiation Exposure | natural background radiation]].
Limits on [[Absorbed, Equivalent, and System_of_radiation_protection_module_2#Effective Dose | effective dose]], combined with optimisation of protection, are designed to avoid a risk of [[Effects of Exposure | stochastic effects]] that would be considered intolerable in a [[Exposure Categories and Situations | planned exposure situation]].
Limits on [[Absorbed, Equivalent, and Effective Dose | equivalent dose to an organ]], combined with optimisation of protection, are designed to prevent the occurance of [[Effects of Exposure | deterministic effects]].
