(Postscript: Effective dose is inadequate in this Draft Document. Because, use of effective dose might underestimate risks for especially non-cancer death/diseases. The non-cancer death/diseases are described in ICRP Publication 118. Therefore, levels should be indicated by contamination types and radioactivity levels in this Draft Document. In this postscript, it may be needless to add that radionuclides released from the Chernobyl accident have been dispersed throughout the Northern hemisphere, and its effects continue to be present. I believe the pride of ICRP in health physics.)
