Sub-Group on Habit Data
and Critical Groups
Terms of reference
The aim of this sub-group
is to consider the use of habits data in assessing individual doses
and in defining critical groups. The initial emphasis will be on
retrospective assessments (doses from discharges and direct shine)
but prospective assessments should be considered at a later date.
In particular it will consider:
- Methods for obtaining integrated habits data around particular
sites.
- What is meant by 'locally produced food' - how plausible is
it for certain foods to be produced and consumed by individuals.
- Assumptions regarding where people are assumed to live and to
obtain their food in dose assessments together with the combination
of pathways.
- Data analysis including the relationship between the sample
population and assessment of nidividual doses including the use
of critical groups.
- The adequacy of data on occupancy, e.g. general beach occupancy
and time spent indoors and outdoors.
- The use of national survey data and site specific data, including
how regularly site specific data should be reviewed and updated.
- Use of habits survey and dosimetric data for infant, child and
adult.
