skos:definition "1. The act or condition of being subject to irradiation.<br/>
<b>!</b> 'Exposure' should not be used as a synonym for 'dose'. 'Dose' is a measure of the <br/>
effects of 'exposure'.<br/>'Exposure' can be divided into categories according to its nature and duration <br/>(see 'exposure situations') or according to the 'source' of the 'exposure', the <br/>people exposed and/or the circumstances under which they are exposed (see <br/>'exposure, types of').<br/>
<i><b>external exposure.</b></i> 'Exposure' to 'radiation' from a 'source' outside the body.<br/>
Contrasted with 'internal exposure'.<br/>
<i><b>internal exposure.</b></i> 'Exposure' to 'radiation' from a 'source' within the body.<br/>
Contrasted with 'external exposure'.<br/>
2'. 'The sum of the electrical charges of all of the ions of one sign produced <br/>
in air by X rays or gamma 'radiation' when all electrons liberated by photons in <br/>a suitably small element of volume of air are completely stopped in air, divided <br/>by the mass of the air in the volume element. <br/>
Unit: C/kg (in the past, the 'röntgen (R)' was used).<br/>
3. The time integral of the 'potential alpha energy' concentration in air, or <br/>
of the corresponding 'equilibrium equivalent concentration', to which an <br/>individual is exposed over a given period (e.g. a year).<br/>
Used in connection with 'exposure' to 'radon' and 'thoron' progeny.<br/>The SI unit is J·h/m3 for 'potential alpha energy' concentration or Bq·h/m3 for <br/>'equilibrium equivalent concentration'.<br/>
4. [“The product of the air concentration of a radionuclide to which a <br/>
person is exposed and the time of 'exposure'. More generally, when the air <br/>concentration varies with time, the time integral of the air concentration of a <br/>radionuclide to which a person is exposed, integrated over the time of <br/>'exposure'.”]<br/>
This definition, quoted verbatim from Ref. [21], reflects a loose usage of <br/>'exposure' found particularly in the context of airborne 'radon'. This usage is <br/>listed here for information, but it is discouraged.<br/>" (en)
