  • Title: Radiation Dose Due to Naturally Occurring Radionuclides in Soils from Varying Geological Environments.
    Author: Huang FJ, Hsu FY, Chen TY, Chao JH.
    Journal: Health Phys; 2019 May; 116(5):657-663. PubMed ID: 30747755.
    Abstract:
    Field radiation monitoring and radionuclide analysis of soils were performed at various geological areas in Taiwan. The field-observed dose rate was 0.031-0.107 μGy h. The dose rate ascribed to naturally occurring radionuclides in soils that were geologically characterized varied from 0.002 to 0.079 μGy h. A linear correlation was observed between the activity-derived and field-observed dose, which indicated that the absorbed dose rate from the cosmic rays is almost constant (0.030 μGy h) throughout the flat area on the island.
