radiation exposure limits

Radiation exposure limits are guidelines designed to protect people's health by controlling how much radiation they can safely receive in a given time. Regulatory agencies set these limits based on research, ensuring exposure remains below levels that could cause harm or increase health risks. For example, workers in radiation-related fields have specific annual dose limits, typically measured in millisieverts (mSv). For general public exposure, limits are lower. These standards help prevent radiation sickness, cancer, and other health issues while allowing beneficial uses of radiation in medicine, industry, and research.
