Generally, extending the frequency usually results in a higher cost 
per period, but since there are fewer periods, the overall cost on an 
annual basis is less. However, there is not a direct reduction by 
simply going o quarterly from a monthly wear period. There are still 
factors such as inventory and use requirements and other associated 
overhead costs that are factored into cost per dosimeter depending on 
frequency of wear.
