012564-National Bureau of Standards Handbook 69-Maximum Permissible Body Burdens and Maximum Permissible Concentrations of Radionuclides in Air and in Water for Occupational Exposure 112 Pages 1963 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED AS EBOOK CDROM IN PDF FORMAT The present Handbook and its predecessors stem from the Second International Congress of Radiology, held in Stockholm in 1928. At that time, under the auspices of the Congress, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) was organized to deal initially with problems of X-ray protection and later with radioactivity protection. At that time "permissible" doses of X-rays were estimated primarily in terms of exposures which produced erythema, the amount of exposure which would produce a defined reddening of the skin. Obviously a critical problem in establishing criteria for radiation protection was one of developing useful standards and techniques of physical measurement. For this reason two of the organizations in this country with a major concern for X-ray protection, the American Roentgen Ray Society and the Radiology Society of North America, suggested that the National Bureau of Standards assume responsibility for organizing representative experts to deal with the problem. As a result of the extensive developments immediately preceding and during World War II that added substantially to the importance of radiation protection problems, the Advisory Committee was reorganized in 1946 as the National Committee on Radiation Protection.
