Dose Estimation for Indoor Radon, Occupational Radiation, and Electromagnetic Field Exposure in a Nuclear Medicine Department in Turkiye.
This 1-year monitoring study assessed occupational ionizing radiation dose, indoor radon, and EMF-related electric field levels in a nuclear medicine department in Turkiye. Radiation worker doses were tracked with electronic personnel dosimeters, radon was measured at 2-month intervals to estimate annual dose and risk, and electric field measurements were taken weekly in selected areas. All measured exposures were reported to be far below national and international legal dose limits.
Key points
- Occupational radiation doses were monitored for 1 year using electronic personnel dosimeters.
- Radon gas measurements were taken at 2-month intervals and used to calculate annual effective dose and risk for 8 h and 24 h scenarios.
- Electric field measurements were performed one day per week in selected areas of the department.
- All measured radiation, radon, and EMF results were compared with national and international dose limits.
- The study reports that all measured values were far below applicable legal limits.
