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.
