Abstract

This study addresses radiation safety concerns related to natural sources impacting the population in Surkhandarya, Uzbekistan. The region, known for its environmental challenges, was assessed for gamma radiation levels using the Polimaster DKG-RM1703MO-2 dosimeter. Measurements were taken at five strategic points in both open areas and indoor locations. Results showed gamma radiation levels ranging from 0.09 to 0.16 μSv/h outdoors and 0.13 to 0.25 μSv/h indoors, with the highest readings in the Termez region. The findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring and effective risk management to ensure public safety. The study also highlights the need for legal mechanisms and differentiated economic conditions to rehabilitate ecologically critical zones. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the spatial distribution of gamma radiation and its potential health implications.
