Notes
The term is found, in particular, in the translation from English in [14, p. 102 (264)], where it is stated that “neither the equivalent dose in the organ nor the effective dose can be measured directly,” instead of the phrase, “cannot be measured by a direct method” [15, p. 60 (264)]. It is possible that it was because of this text that the effective dose was assumed to be unmeasurable.
