If there are no events related to radioactive contamination, your registrar will register<em><strong> background level<\/strong><\/em> . The eternal source of radiation is outer space, which &#8220;bombards&#8221; us with the intensity of the background level. <\/p>\n\n<p>Mankind uses many different physical units in which the level of radiation is measured. That&#8217;s what happened. It is used in Ukraine<em><strong> X-ray<\/strong><\/em> or<em><strong> Sievert<\/strong><\/em> . The upper value of the background level is considered to be 30 microsieverts. Different types of Geiger-Mueller tubes, due to the design of each type, register different numbers of hits.<\/p>\n\n<p>We installed the SBM-20 tube on the module. The limit level (normal exposure dose rate) of the number of particles registered by the SBM-20 tube is 60 per minute (formula: number of impulses * 0.0057 uSv \/ h), which is equal to about 30 micro X-rays or 0.30 microsieverts. <\/p>\n\n<p>With an average background level, you will hear (and see) 20-30 pulses in one minute. This means that the radiation level around you is 0.1-0.15 microsieverts. <\/p>\n\n<p>In the surrounding space, including the sun, all sorts of events occur, as a result of which the level of radiation fluctuates. But if you observe more than 60 pulses in one minute, then something has happened on Earth, or rather &#8211; in your place. For example, you were brought a &#8220;dirty&#8221; forest or stones. This means that it is time to beware. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 28%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iot-devices.com.ua\/?post_type=product&#038;p=579\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"716\" src=\"https:\/\/iot-devices.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ggreg20-v1-wide-paint.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iot-devices.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ggreg20-v1-wide-paint.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/iot-devices.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ggreg20-v1-wide-paint-454x325.jpg 454w, https:\/\/iot-devices.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ggreg20-v1-wide-paint-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iot-devices.com.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ggreg20-v1-wide-paint-768x550.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"has-text-align-right\">You have similar questions &#8211;<a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/iot-devices.com.ua\/?post_type=product&#038;p=579\"><em><strong> buy GGreg20<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n<p>If such measurements are not very convenient for you, read and implement the solution proposed in the next episode.
