<strong>Chemical</strong> <strong>Agents</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Opportunity</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Terrorism</strong><br />

Participant Guide<br />

Slide 22<br />

This slide shows some common examples <strong>of</strong> ionizing radiation exposures, including<br />

background levels coming from the sun, releases from rocks, food, and water that are<br />

experienced by everyone. Each year the average person is exposed to a dose <strong>of</strong> 360<br />

mrem <strong>of</strong> ionizing radiation (or about 1mrem/day). These amounts on a continuous basis<br />

or with single exposures, such as to an X-ray, can be compared with the amounts<br />

needed <strong>for</strong> a single exposure to cause acute radiation symptoms.<br />
