نویسندگان
چکیده
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 include both terrestrial and cosmic ray components of gamma radiation level. results the outdoor gamma dose rates range from 65 to 127 nsv h-1 with the mean of 94 ± 24 nsv h-1. conclusion the average outdoor gamma dose rate for guilan determined in this study is significantly higher in comparison with values reported by unscear 2000 from different countries with the mean of 59 nsv although in comparison with many provinces of iran, it is lower.

متن کاملComparison 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...
متن کاملAssessment of Environmental Gamma Radiation (Outdoor and Indoor Spaces) in the Region of Bandar Abbas Gachine
Background: Ionizing radiation is present in all environment of the Earth’s surface, beneath the Earth and in the atmosphere. Human beings are exposed to external radiation from their surroundings naturally and also to internal radiation from food, water and air they consume. Then, it is important to measure and develop knowledge about radiation. Objective: This study is designed to evalu...
متن کاملInvestigation of natural effective gamma dose rates case study: Ardebil Province in Iran
Gamma rays pose enough energy to induce chemical changes that may be biologically important for the normal functioning of body cells. The external exposure of human beings to natural environmental gamma radiation normally exceeds that from all man-made sources combined. In this research natural background gamma dose rates and corresponding annual effective doses were determined for selected cit...
متن کاملMeasurement of outdoor and indoor ambient gamma dose rate in Gorgan and Bandar-Torkman cities using gas and thermoluminescent dosimeters
Background and Objective: Human external exposure to natural radiation sources is much more than artificial radiation sources. In this study, external annual effective doses were estimated in cities of Gorgan and Bandar-Torkman by determining ambient gamma dose rate in indoor and outdoor spaces. Materials and Methods: Using an ionization chamber detector, the outdoor and indoor ambient gamma d...
متن کاملSpatial and Statistical Analysis of Leptospirosis in Guilan Province, Iran
The most underdiagnosed water-borne bacterial zoonosis in the world is Leptospirosis which especially impacts tropical and humid regions. According to World Health Organization (WHO), the number of human cases is not known precisely. Available reports showed that worldwide incidences vary from 0.1-1 per 100 000 per year in temperate climates to 10-100 per 100 000 in the humid tropics. Pathogeni...
