Gamma dose rate (GDR) monitors are the most widely used tool for continuous monitoring of environmental radioactivity. They are inexpensive to procure and operate, and generally require little maintenance. However, since no spectral information is av...
Cesium-137, discharged by nuclear installations under normal operations and deposited in watersheds following atmospheric testing and accidents (i.e. Chernobyl, Fukushima …), has been studied for decades. Thus, modelling of Cs concentration in rivers...
Cosmic radiation exposure is one of the important health concerns for aircrews. In this work, we constructed a back propagation neural network model for the real-time and rapid assessment of cosmic radiation exposure to the public in aviation. The mu...
The radiological characterization of soil contaminated with natural radionuclides enables the classification of the area under investigation, the optimization of laboratory measurements, and informed decision-making on potential site remediation. Neu...
BACKGROUND: Radon is a carcinogenic, radioactive gas that can accumulate indoors and is undetected by human senses. Therefore, accurate knowledge of indoor radon concentration is crucial for assessing radon-related health effects or identifying radon...
We investigate methods that improve the estimation of indoor gamma ray dose rates at locations where measurements had not been made. These new predictions use a greater range of modelling techniques and larger variety of explanatory variables than ou...
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas derived from the decay of uranium in the Earth's crust. Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in the US. Radon infiltrates homes through soil and building foundations. This...
Solar radiation plays a critical role in the carbon sequestration processes of terrestrial ecosystems, making it a key factor in environmental sustainability among various renewable energy sources. This study integrates two advanced signal processing...
The sorption of radionuclides on granite has been extensively studied over the past few decades due to its significance in the safety assessment of geological disposal for high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The sorption properties of granite for rad...
Air absorbed dose rate is a key indicator of environmental radiation exposure. In China, automated environmental radiation monitoring systems have been established in multiple cities to continuously measure air absorbed dose rates. Nevertheless, deve...
