Examples
Airline crews flying long distance high-altitude routes can be exposed to 2.2 mSv of extra radiation each year due to cosmic rays, nearly doubling their total ionizing radiation exposure.
At an IAEA conference in 2002, it was recommended that occupational doses below 1–2 mSv per year do not warrant regulatory scrutiny.
The amount of radiation in 18F-FDG is similar to the effective dose of spending one year in Denver, CO (12.4 mSv /year).
The average radiation dose from medical sources is ~0.6 mSv per person globally as of 2007.
The increase in background radiation due to these tests peaked in 1963 at about 0.15 mSv per year worldwide, or about 7% of average background dose from all sources.
The Windscale fire resulted in thyroid doses of 5-20 mSv for adults and 10-60 mSv for children. citation The doses from the accidents at Mayak are unknown.
