- Abstract
The Thermoluminescent dosimeter is a solid material used as instrumentation for environmental monitoring through determining environmental equivalent dose H∗(10). This work presents the calibration methodology for TLDs LiF:Mg, Cu, P dosimeters and their application to measure H∗(10) in internal buildings occupied by inhabitants of an urban area. The calibration factor and type tests were made according to ISO 4037-3 and IEC 62387, and the uncertainty was determined. The values found are under the reference values. Therefore, the dosimeters can be applied., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
