Who should use an EPD to monitor real-time exposure to radiation?
People exposed to radiation in their work environment can wear an EPD to monitor exposure to radiation. People who work in high radiation work environments are using an EPD as a complementary tool in addition to thermoluminescence dosimeters. EPD users are first responders, such as fire fighters, police, and staff from National Defence and the Canadian Forces, industrial radiographers and staff at nuclear reactors.
