摘要：The increasing risk of a mass casualty scenario following a large scale radiological accident
or attack necessitates the development of appropriate dosimetric tools for emergency response.
Luminescence dosimetry has been reliably applied for dose reconstruction in contaminated settlements
for several decades and recent research into new materials carried close to the human body
opens the possibility of estimating individual doses for accident and emergency dosimetry using
the same technique. This paper reviews the luminescence research into materials useful for accident
dosimetry and applications in retrospective dosimetry. The properties of the materials are critically
discussed with regard to the requirements for population triage. It is concluded that electronic components
found within portable electronic devices, such as e.g. mobile phones, are at present the most
promising material to function as a fortuitous dosimeter in an emergency response.
