A PITFALL TO AVOID IN FERROUS SULPHATE DOSIMETRY

Journal Article · · Brit. J. Radiol.
Experiments on ferrous sulfate dosimeters showed an effect simulating a radiation exposure of approximately 5 rads/min as a result of leaving the solution in contact with a clear plastic container. It was concluded that the effect was due to interaction between the ferrous sulfate and the plasticiser used in the container. Results emphasize that for chemical dosimetry it is always wise to carry out control experiments with unirradiated solutions. (C.H.)
