Abstract

The indoor and outdoor natural background gamma radiation levels were estimated at Devarakonda town with µR-survey meter and TLDs. It is observed that the measured average gamma radiation absorbed dose rate in the indoor and outdoor is 2240 ± 535 µGy y−1 and 2178 ± 288 µGy y−1, respectively and this dose rate is about three times higher than the national average. The frequency distribution of gamma radiation levels gave a conjecture that the gamma radiation levels in the study area deviating from normal distribution. An attempt has been made to understand the causative factor for gamma radiation levels in the dwellings and also calculated effective dose rate to the residents of the town. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
