Summary: This study measured the Rn-222 concentration in soil at different depths in the southeastern coastal area of Bangladesh and evaluated the annual effective dose received by the inhabitants. The average annual effective dose was found to be below the global average, and the presence of radon and natural radionuclides in soil needs to be considered.

Summary: This study analyzed the radionuclides in clay samples used for pottery production to assess the radiological hazards to potters. The study evaluated the annual equivalent doses to the skin of potters resulting from the energy loss of alpha-particles emitted by the radionuclides of the U-238 and Th-232 radioactive families. The maximum annual equivalent dose resulting from the energy loss of alpha and beta minus particles emitted by the radionuclides of the U-238 and Th-232 series was found to be 23.0 mSv y(-1) cm(-2) for potters working 8 hours per day.

Summary: The individual monitoring service at Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences in Serbia uses thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) to monitor exposed workers. The testing of eye-lens personal dose equivalent measurements was done using modified ring holders based on LiF:Mg,Ti. The results showed that the passive dosimetry monitoring system meets the requirements, except at lower energy levels and higher incident radiation angles.

Summary: This study modeled the power and magnification behavior of toric AddOn lenses and demonstrated the effect sizes using a Monte Carlo simulation. The results showed that the equivalent and toric AddOn power, as well as overall change in magnification and reduction in meridional distortion, can be easily predicted from biometric data in eyes with moderate refractive error.

Summary: This study investigated the occupational dose to the lens of the eye for physicians engaged in radiology procedures in Japan, and proposed a multiple radiation protection protocol to ensure compliance with new-equivalent dose limits. The results indicated that multiple radiation protection measures were effective in reducing the eye lens dose received by physicians, showing a dose reduction rate of 53%.

Summary: The study determined the radiation exposure to radiologic technologists' eye lenses while assisting patients undergoing computed tomography imaging and the effectiveness of lead glasses in reducing the dose. Monthly radiation doses were collected and it was found that the lead glasses reduced radiation exposure by approximately 60%.
