Dal Pai Biología Radiometry Meteorology Surveillance Background radiation The multifactorial nature of background radiation demands a constant surveillance to be always aware of environmental radiation and radioactivity levels, and remarkable changes, to which public is exposed. The present study aimed to develop an alternative methodology of easy applicability and low cost to carry out measurements of environmental background radiation. It was used a Geiger Muller counter (GM) to measure the background radiation of Botucatu city in São Paulo state. In order to verify the lack of influence in radiation levels along the day Meteorological and Radiometric measurements were performed. The obtained data confirmed no statistically significant variations in radiometric measures during the reported period. The results were mainly presented in a map with the distribution of environmental radiation. The average value of the background radiation readings was 5.001E-09 C/kg, with an average variance of 5.295E-11 and an average standard deviation of 3.971E-08. The map was developed using Python programming language and the source code is available at: https://github.com/gabrielnarruda/lowcost-muller-map and https://github.com/gabrielnarruda/muller-map-backend. The map generated from this study will be hosted on an open access website and other GM users will be encouraged to insert their measurements and location in the map. The health of general public against deleterious effects of ionizing radiation levels can be ensured with environmental radiation surveillance. The information provided by the present study may contribute to research centers and establish a baseline for future research. 2022 artículo científico 2319-0612 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=722280971001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7222 Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Proteção Radiológica - SBPR Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.10 |
