# 82.17 What types of information could be used to supplement or substitute for individual monitoring data?
Three types of information could be used:
(a) Monitoring data from co-workers, if NIOSH determines they had a common relationship to the radiation environment; or,
(b) A quantitative characterization of the radiation environment in which the covered employee worked, based on an analysis of historical workplace monitoring information such as area dosimeter readings, general area radiation and radioactive contamination survey results, air sampling data; or,
(c) A quantitative characterization of the radiation environment in which the employee worked, based on analysis of data describing processes involving radioactive materials, the source materials, occupational tasks and locations, and radiation safety practices.
