مستخلص: A study was conducted for the measurement of outdoor gamma dose rate (GDR) using a radiation monitor, based on Geiger-Muller technique, in Karnal, Kaithal, and Kurukshetra districts of Haryana at 214 locations during post and premonsoon season. The γ-dose rate was found to be in the range of 70 ± 4–267 ± 13 nSv/h. The data was statistical analysed and distribution was interpolated using ArcGIS software. The annual effective dose (AED) due to outdoor γ-radiation in Karnal, Kaithal, and Kurukshetra districts was computed to be in the range of 0.086 ± 0.004–0.327 ± 0.016 mSv/y. The value of excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) was found to be in the range of 0.322 × 10−3–1.228 × 10−3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
