Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Radiological Physics (Theory and Application)
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
DEF

The concentration of a radioactive pollutant in air that generates a maximum permissible dose to individuals.

CONT

The permissible limit for inhalation of a radionuclide is the appropriate ALI [annual limit of intake]. This is given in units of activity, Bq. Because it is often easier to measure and control the concentration of radioactvity in the air than to measure or control the intake, the ALIs are used to calculate the Derived Air Concentrations(DACs). The Derived Air Concentration, or DAC for any radionuclide, is that concentration in air, expressed in Bq/m³ which, if worked in for a year(50 weeks of 40 hours each for a total of 2000 hours per year), would result in the ALI for inhalation. The normal breathing rate, based on Reference Man, is 2, 400 m³ per year at work. The Derived Air Concentration is the ALI divided by the volume breathed in a year at work.

Record 3 2004-02-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
  • Occupational Health and Safety
CONT

Individual monitoring.... Area monitoring.(a) Measurements of radioactivity concentrations in the ambient air of the workplace shall be performed as follows :(1) Air sampling shall be performed in occupied areas where, under typical conditions, an individual is likely to receive an annual intake of 2 percent or more of the specified ALI [annual limit of intake] values.

OBS

As opposed to "individual monitoring." Compare with "indoor (air) pollution monitoring."

OBS

area monitoring: Strictly speaking, this term has a broader sense than "work area monitoring," but it is often used in this short form to designate "work area monitoring" in the field of occupational safety; it can be used if the context is clear enough.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures antipollution
  • Santé et sécurité au travail
OBS

surveillance de l'atmosphère : Ce terme est une forme elliptique des expressions plus complètes «surveillance de l'atmosphère dans une zone de travail déterminée», «dans une ambiance déterminée», «dans une aire de travail déterminée». On peut l'utiliser si le contexte est suffisamment clair.
