A parameter: the number of the measurably exposed workers.

B parameter: the proportion of the measurably exposed workers to the total monitored workers (%).

C parameter: the annual collective exposure dose (man-Sv).

D parameter: the mean annual effective exposure dose of the total monitored workers (mSv).

E parameter: the mean annual effective exposure dose of the measurably exposed workers (mSv).
