What you shoud know about Radiological Monitoring Services

Radiation cannot be sense directly by all five human senses. High radiation dose receive by human may damaged the cell tissue which then leads to organ failure and result in death (deterministic effect). The stochastic effect is the one that should be paid attention as it is probabilistic in nature where the occurrence is proportional to dose received. If a person is exposed to radiation for a long period of time (years to decades), the chances to get cancer or leukaemia increases. By virtue of this, and the characteristic of radiation which cannot be seen, smelled and tasted, justified the importance of radiation monitoring especially to those who work with radiation.A proper selection of monitoring instrument must be given consideration for an effective monitoring programme.

 

The objectives of radiological monitoring are:

To asses radiation exposure situation and personnel exposure in compliance with regulatory requirement.

  • To identify abnormalities of radiation exposure in work places.
  • To verify the effectiveness of radiation protection programme in workplaces

There are three types of radiological monitoring: –

  1. Area monitoring
  2. Workplace monitoring
  3. Personnel Monitoring

MONITORING INSTRUMENTS

Type of Radiation Detectors

Radiation detectors are classified based on their medium of interaction with radiation, which are gas-filled, liquid-filled and solid state type. Gas-filled detector is the name given to a detector which operated when charged particles produces
ionization in a gas-filled chamber. There are three types of most commonly used gas-filled chamber:-

· Ionization chambers

· Proportional counters

· Geiger-Muller counters
