Which of the following is NOT typically a function of environmental radiation survey instruments?

Assessing occupational dose is typically the responsibility of dosimetry instruments or personnel monitoring devices rather than environmental radiation survey instruments. These tools are specifically designed to measure exposure to radiation in the workplace and often involve personal dosimeters or more specialized equipment that is used in close contact with personnel to ensure accurate dose assessments tailored to individual exposure.

Environmental radiation survey instruments, on the other hand, serve different functions primarily focused on evaluating the radiation present in the environment, such as detecting and measuring radioactive contamination, monitoring radiation levels in different areas, and verifying the effectiveness of radiation shielding in various locations. These instruments provide essential data for assessing public health and safety in relation to environmental radiation exposure, but they do not typically provide direct assessments of individual occupational doses.
