dosimetreiksi

Dosimetriksi is a Finnish term that translates to "dosimeter" in English. A dosimeter is a device used to measure and record the cumulative dose of ionizing radiation received by a person or object. These devices are crucial for radiation protection, allowing individuals working in environments with potential radiation exposure to monitor their dose and ensure it remains within safe limits.

There are various types of dosimeters, each employing different physical principles to detect and quantify radiation. Some common types include film badge dosimeters, which use photographic film to record the radiation exposure, and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badges, which utilize crystals that emit light when heated after being exposed to radiation. Electronic dosimeters are also widely used, providing real-time dose readings and often incorporating alarms.

Dosimeters are employed in a wide range of settings, including nuclear power plants, hospitals where radiation therapy or diagnostic imaging is performed, research laboratories, and industrial radiography. They are typically worn by personnel during their work shifts and are regularly read and evaluated by qualified professionals. The data collected from dosimeters helps in assessing occupational health risks, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and maintaining a safe working environment. The term "dosimetriksi" specifically refers to the Finnish context of these radiation monitoring devices and their application within the country.
