A unique high natural background radiation area - Dose assessment and perspectives

Masahiro Hosoda et al.

Summary: The study found a unique high natural radiation area in Indonesia where residents are exposed to chronic low dose-rate radiation. Indoor radon concentrations exceeded the reference levels recommended by the World Health Organization, and outdoor radon concentrations were comparable to high indoor levels. The annual effective dose due to external and internal exposures in the study area exceeded the dose limit for radiation workers, suggesting the need for further epidemiological studies on health effects.
