Public exposure due to external gamma background radiation in boundary areas of Iran
A monitoring program in boundary areas of a country is an appropriate way to indicate the level of public exposure. In this research, gamma background radiation was measured using TL dosimeters at 12 boundary areas as well as in the capital city of Iran during the period 2010 to 2011. The measuremen...

| description | A monitoring program in boundary areas of a country is an appropriate way to indicate the level of public exposure.
In this research, gamma background radiation was measured using TL dosimeters at 12 boundary areas as well as in the capital city of Iran during the period 2010 to 2011. The measurements were carried out in semi-annual time intervals from January to June and July to December in each year.
The maximum average dose equivalent value measured was approximately 70 μSv/month for Tehran city. Also, the average dose values obtained were less than 40 μSv/month for all the cities located at the sea level except that of high level natural radiation area of Ramsar, and more than 55 μSv/month for the higher elevation cities.
The public exposure due to ambient gamma dose equivalent in Iran is within the levels reported by UNSCEAR.
•Gamma background radiation was measured at 12 boundary areas.•Maximum average dose equivalent measured was 70 μSv/month.•Differences of background gamma in high elevation cities are due to GCR.•Public exposures obtained in Iran are within the levels reported by UNSCEAR. |
