Comparison of Indoor and Outdoor Dose Rates from Environmental Gamma Radiation in Kurdistan Province
Background & Aims: Studying about background radiation is important because human beings are continuously exposed to these radiations which leave energy in tissues and the transferred energy leads to undesirable biologic effects. The level of background radiation differs in indoor and outdoor places. Since, people spend more time indoors, in this research environmental gamma dose rate for indoo...

ABSTRACTBackground: There are relatively rich uranium mines in regions of Saghand and Bafgh in Yazd province. This survey was carried out to provide a map of ambient gamma radiation of Yazd province and the probable effects of the existence of these mines on background radiation dose rates.Materials and Methods: The measurements of the outdoor and indoor–environmental exposures (including cosm...
متن کاملAssessment of Outdoor Gamma Radiation Dose Rates in 49 Cities of Guilan Province, IRAN
Introduction Guilan is one of the provinces in North of Iran, with population of 2,480,874 and a total area of 14,042 square kilometers. This study assesses the outdoor natural gamma dose rates in the air of 49 cities in Guilan and calculates corresponding average annual effective dose. Materials and Methods A total of 260 different sample points measurements were carried out. The results inc...
متن کاملGamma background radiation measurement in Lorestan province, Iran
Background: The exposure of human being to ionize radiation from natural sources is a continuing, inescapable feature of life on earth. Direct measurement of absorbed dose rates in air has been carried out in many countries of the world during the last few decades. Such investigations can be useful for assessment of public dose rates, the performance of epidemiological studies, and kee...
متن کاملEffective dose from natural background radiation in Keffi and Akwanga towns, central Nigeria
Background: Human is exposed to radiation in their environment with or without their consent and the exposure to natural background radiation is an unpreventable event on earth. Materials and Methods: An in situ assessment of the indoor and outdoor background radiation in Akwanga and Keffi towns of Nasarawa state Nigeria was carried out using a halogen-quenched Geiger Muller (GM) detector (Insp...
