Abstract

Abstract From the beginning, there has always been radiation in the Universe. Most people are unaware of it, even though it is around us all the time, and can have many negative effects on our bodies. In the long term, it can lead to the development of various diseases. The natural background radiation includes cosmic radiation, plus radiation from radioactive elements present in the soil, atmosphere, and living organisms. A significant, measurable fraction of this is gamma radiation. Artificial radioactive isotopes can be used in a variety of applications, such as space research, sterilization, and medical diagnostic imaging. Our objective is to measure the dose equivalent rate from the gamma fraction of background radiation in Mureş county, in open and closed spaces, and in frequently visited areas. The measurements were performed with a Gamma Scout dosimeter. The measured average dose equivalent rates are 0.104 µSv/h in Târgu Mureş, 0.111 µSv/h in Reghin, 0.112 µSv/h in Sovata, 0.091 µSv/h in Tarnaveni, 0.095 µSv/h in Ludus and 0.067 µSv/h in the Upper-Mureş Nature Park. Based on the measurements, the calculated mean annual dose is 0.884 mSv/year. According to the data based on the measurements, the dose equivalent rates measured in Mureş county do not pose a risk to our health.
穆列兹县放射性本底辐射测量
从一开始,宇宙中就一直存在辐射。大多数人都没有意识到它,尽管它每时每刻都在我们身边,而且会对我们的身体产生许多负面影响。从长远来看,它会导致各种疾病的发展。自然背景辐射包括宇宙辐射,以及存在于土壤、大气和生物体中的放射性元素的辐射。其中一个重要的,可测量的部分是伽马辐射。人造放射性同位素可用于各种应用,如空间研究、灭菌和医学诊断成像。我们的目标是测量穆列伊茨县、开放空间和封闭空间以及经常访问的地区本底辐射的伽马分数的剂量当量率。测量是用伽马侦察兵剂量计进行的。测量到的平均剂量当量率为:古穆列伊茨0.104µSv/h,雷欣0.111µSv/h,索瓦塔0.112µSv/h,塔尔纳韦尼0.091µSv/h,卢杜斯0.095µSv/h,上穆列伊茨自然公园0.067µSv/h。根据测量,计算出的年平均剂量为0.884毫西弗/年。根据基于测量的数据,在穆列伊茨县测量的剂量当量率不会对我们的健康构成风险。
