Which occupational exposure limit is specified for the lens of the eye in Sieverts?

The occupational exposure limit specified for the lens of the eye is indeed set at 0.15 Sv. This limit is established to protect workers from the effects of radiation that can lead to cataract formation and other ocular damage. The rationale behind this specific limit is based on research that has determined the threshold levels of radiation exposure that pose a risk to eye health.

Protective measures and regulations are in place to ensure that workers in fields with potential radiation exposure, such as medical imaging and nuclear medicine, are not exposed to levels that exceed this threshold. Monitoring and adherence to these limits are critical in maintaining safety standards and minimizing long-term health risks for professionals operating in environments where they are exposed to ionizing radiation.

The other options reflect levels that are either too high or too low according to current safety standards. Understanding these limits is essential for ensuring compliance with radiation safety regulations and for protecting health care workers and patients alike.
