Each hospital was subdivided into various occupational groups. Whole-body doses Hp(10), local skin doses Hp(0.07) and annual collective dose Hp(10) were measured by OSL (optically stimulated luminescence) dosimetry. The occupational groups with the highest radiation exposures, ~0.185\u00a0mSv in 1\u00a0y, were in the field of nuclear medicine, radiology, cardiology, Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery and Operating room. All results of the measured annual effective dose were below the ICRP (International Commission on Radiological Protection) dose limits of 20 mSv\/y, averaged over any 5-y period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncac282","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T07:31:42Z","timestamp":1672644702000},"page":"318-324","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["ASSESSMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO EXTERNAL RADIATION AMONG WORKERS OF THREE COMMUNITY HOSPITALS IN SENEGAL"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"199","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6059-5761","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Modou","family":"Niang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Atoms Lasers, Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, University Cheikh Anta Diop , Dakar 5005 , Senegal"},{"name":"Senegalese Authority of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (ARSN) , L\/14 Scat Urbam Mariste , Senegal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheikh","family":"Senghor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Senegalese Authority of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (ARSN) , L\/14 Scat Urbam Mariste , Senegal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fatou","family":"Ndoye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Atoms Lasers, Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, University Cheikh Anta Diop , Dakar 5005 , Senegal"},{"name":"Senegalese Authority of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (ARSN) , L\/14 Scat Urbam Mariste , Senegal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"El Hadji Mamadou","family":"Fall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Atoms Lasers, Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, University Cheikh Anta Diop , Dakar 5005 , Senegal"},{"name":"Senegalese Authority of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (ARSN) , L\/14 Scat Urbam Mariste , Senegal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ndeye Arame Boye","family":"Faye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Atoms Lasers, Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences and Techniques, University Cheikh Anta Diop , Dakar 5005 , Senegal"},{"name":"Senegalese Authority of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (ARSN) , L\/14 Scat Urbam Mariste , Senegal"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"International Atomic Energy Agency, International Labour Organization, Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization","year":"1996","author":"Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations","key":"2023032005461747300_"},{"volume-title":"International basic safety standards for protection against ionizing radiation and for the safety of radiation sources (CD-ROM Edition, 2003), IAEA Safety Series No. 115\/CD","year":"2003","author":"International Atomic Energy Agency","key":"2023032005461747300_"},{"key":"2023032005461747300_","article-title":"UNSCEAR 2000 Report to the General Assembly, with Scientific Annexes","volume":"I","author":"United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR)","year":"2000","journal-title":"Ionizing radiation: sources and biological effects"},{"issue":"5","key":"2023032005461747300_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"575","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nucmedbio.2009.02.003","article-title":"Evaluation of the genotoxic effects of chronic low-dose ionizing radiation exposure on nuclear medicine workers","volume":"36","author":"Sahin","year":"2009","journal-title":"Nucl.
