☢️ Radiation monitoring
Today's reading: 0.26 µSv/h

Scale:
< 1 µSv/h – don't worry
1–10 µSv/h – OK briefly, not long-term
> 10 µSv/h – take action (limit time)
> 100 µSv/h – genuinely dangerous (leave)
> 1000 µSv/h (= 1 mSv/h) – high risk for longer stay

What I measure:
– gamma (γ) radiation
– beta (β) particles
– X-ray radiation

Radiační monitoring

Dnešní stav: 0.31 µSv/h

Škála:
< 1 µSv/h - neřeš
1–10 µSv/h - ok krátce, dlouhodobě ne
> 10 µSv/h - už řešit (omezit čas)
> 100 µSv/h - už fakt nebezpečné (odejít)
> 1000 µSv/h (= 1 mSv/h) - vysoké riziko při delším pobytu

Co měřím?
– gama (γ) záření
– beta (β) částice
– rentgenové (X-ray) záření

Not really sure what’s happened, thinking about the environment the sensor is in it’s inside a garage attached to a wall, I have been leaving the door open more but I would assume less of a gradual increase and more a jump if it’s air flow related. Can’t see any reference to local #backgroundRadiation changes. Any ideas?
