‘Critical organs’ abandoned – enough scientific knowledge available to calculate a weighted whole-body dose. Publication 26 describes the weighting procedure but did not present the new quantity. In a statement from the 1978 Stockholm Meeting of the <strong>ICRP</strong> the effective dose equivalent, H E was introduced following a proposal by Wolfgang Jacobi
1978 Effective Dose Equivalent, H E , was introduced by <strong>ICRP</strong> to be used for setting and controlling dose limits in the regulatory context. Why was it introduced? The intention was to solve conceptual and practical problems (in particular for internal irradiations) with the until then used limitation concept based on “critical organ” and “maximum permissible dose”.
