These symptoms and signs include muscle weakness, acute paralysis, overwhelming bronchial secretions, bradycardia, gastrointestinal distress, miosis, lacrimation and diarrhoea.

                                     being sedentary means waking behaviour characterised by an average energy expenditure of 1.5 METs or less while in a sitting or reclining posture.
Note: MET (metabolic equivalent) is a unit of measure of the level of physical capability of the cardiorespiratory system. For example, 1 MET = cardiorespiratory effort associated with a person sitting, 3-4 METs = cardiorespiratory effort associated with a person walking at average walking pace (5 km/h) or light gardening.
                                     BMI means W/H2 and where:
                                     (a) W is the person's weight in kilograms; and
                                     (b) H is the person's height in metres.
                                     category 1A stressor means one of the following severe traumatic events:
(a)          experiencing a life-threatening event;
(b)          being subject to a serious physical attack or assault including rape and sexual molestation;
(c)          being threatened with a weapon, being held captive, being kidnapped, being tortured.
                                     category 1B stressor means one of the following severe traumatic events:
(a)          killing or maiming a person;
(b)          being a witness to a person being killed or critically injured;
(c)          being a witness to atrocities inflicted on another person;
(d)          participating in the clearance of a corpse or a critically injured casualty;
(e)          viewing a corpse or a critically injured casualty as a witness.
Note: corpse and witness are defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.
                                     chronically polluted air means air with average annual concentrations of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of < 2.5 micrometres (PM2.5) exceeding 20 micrograms per cubic metre.
                                     clinically significant disorder of mental health means a disorder of mental health which is of sufficient severity to warrant ongoing management.

The formula used to calculate the cumulative equivalent dose allows doses from multiple types of ionising radiation to be combined, by accounting for their differing biological effect. The unit of equivalent dose is the sievert.
