title: THE PHE FORTUITOUS DOSIMETRY CAPABILITY BASED ON OPTICALLY STIMULATED LUMINESCENCE OF MOBILE PHONES.
abstract: The Public Health England fortuitous dosimetry capability is reviewed, with particular attention focussed on the derivation of its energy and fading corrections, the Monte Carlo techniques used to generate the calibration factors between phone and body doses, and the procedures set in place to facilitate a reliable and effective service.
