Abstract

The research study the levels of gamma absorbed dose in the outdoor air of Shahdol. Study was conducted utilizing a PRM 121S gamma survey meter (Model Number) in 50 different area close to coal mines. The worldwide average of 59 nGy/h is comparatively less than measured outdoor gamma absorbed dose rate of 65.076 nGy/h. It range from 43.5 to 95.7 nGy/h. In the area being studied region, the average yearly effective dose is 0.798 mSv/y, which is less than the worldwide mean of 1 mSv/y. The annual effective dose varies between 0.533 and 1.173 mSv/y.
