"Rozporzadzenie Rady Ministrów z dnia 18 stycznia 2005r. w sprawie dawek granicznych promieniowania jonizujacego.", http://www.paa.gov.pl/dokumenty/akty_wykonawcze/rrm_dawki_graniczne.pdf, [109]

Nevertheless the law is not applied consistently. To allowable dose, for example, medicine radiation is not added. While lung x-ray it is a dose of 1 mSv ( 100% of annual cumulative dose to population). [107]
