摘要：
This study revealed the spatial distributions of terrestrial gamma radiation and natural radionuclide (226Ra, 232Th, and 40K) concentrations in E-Tong Village, a former tin mining area in Thailand. The absorbed dose rate in air ranged from 36 nGy h-1 to 254 nGy h-1, which is higher than the world average due to concentrated 226Ra and 232Th contents in the soil. Their spatial distributions were influenced by the geological setting, which consists of granitic and metasedimentary rocks. The external exposures measured in this study do not affect people, but further indoor radiation measurements are required to confirm radiation impact assessments.
