Dosimetry in the environmental context refers to the measurement and calculation of the dose absorbed by the human body or the environment from exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. This can include natural background radiation, radiation from industrial processes, medical treatments, or nuclear accidents. The purpose of environmental dosimetry is to evaluate and monitor the levels of radiation to which people and ecosystems are exposed, to ensure they remain within safe limits and to assess the potential impact on health and the environment.
