Abstract

The method of calibrating a portable surveymeter for air absorbed dose rates of natural environmental gamma-rays and cosmic-rays is described. The records taken for a week for seven people leading their respective normal lives are discussed. Examples of measurements taken during domestic journeys and overseas trips are presented. It is emphasized that these kinds of data are important for (1) re-evaluation of the population doses, (2) discovery of anomalous man-made radioactivity in the living environment, such as from building materials containing contaminated recycled steels, and (3) educating the public about radiation.
