Abstract

Naturally occurring radiation is present all around us. This study aims to predict the indoor gamma dose rate for areas of Kabirdham district using a statistical analysis model because there is no systematic modelling available for the study region. This study includes the statistical impact of geology on the indoor gamma dose rate. Statistical tests have been carried out for estimation of the indoor gamma dose rate and it was found as a significant value of ANOVA 0.009. Statistical model tested by using the previously reported data of Balod district, Chhattisgarh and found accepted 79%; therefore, the model is suitable for prediction of indoor gamma dose rate for Kabirdham district through the outdoor gamma dose rate.
