ICRP REFERENCE: 100 mSv is the standard threshold where statistically observable excess lifetime cancer risk begins.
| Reference Benchmark | Effective Dose (mSv) | Clinical / Regulatory Context |
|---|---|---|
| Single Chest X-Ray | 0.1 mSv | Nominal diagnostic baseline |
| Public Annual Limit (ICRP-103) | 1.0 mSv / yr | Above natural background |
| Standard Chest CT Scan | 7.0 mSv | Medical diagnostic benchmark |
| Radiation Worker Annual Limit | 20.0 mSv / yr | Averaged over 5 consecutive years |
| Observable Carcinogenic Threshold | 100.0 mSv | Acute or cumulative deterministic trigger |
| Acute Radiation Sickness (ARS) Onset | 700–1,000 mSv | Hematopoietic syndrome onset |
