radiation doses
Measured radioactive exposures
Radiation doses are measured quantities of radiation absorbed by tissue or matter.
The dose determines biological effect—small doses from X-rays or background radiation are harmless, while large doses cause radiation sickness or death.
Medical treatments, nuclear accidents, and occupational exposure are all discussed in terms of radiation dose: The workers received doses well below safety limits.
