Abstract

Natural background radiation, registered under standard environmental conditions, originates from cosmic rays and naturally occurring radionuclides. Its intensity is influenced by geological characteristics and the measurement altitude. What defines the strength of gamma radiation is the value of the ambient dose equivalent of gamma radiation. The ambient dose equivalent was measured using a Radex RD1503+ digital Geiger counter. This study presents the spatial distribution of ambient dose equivalent values recorded across the Raška region. The Raška region, located in southwestern Serbia, covers an area of 666 km² and extends between 43°10′ and 43°29′ north latitude and 20°27′ and 20°40′ east longitude.
