Description - Equation for calculating the total dose from soil or air

The total dose from soil in units of millisieverts per year per becquerel per kilogram or the total dose from air in units of millisieverts per year per becquerel per meter cubed (D_{total,soil/air}) is equal to the sum of the effective doses for each radionuclide x in each exposure pathway y (D_x,y).
