| Popis: | The present work focussed on demarcation of areas with cancer development risk through excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) by assessing spatial variability of gamma dose in outdoor and indoor environment in western Himalaya. Average outdoor gamma dose and outdoor annual effective dose exceed the corresponding world averages. An indoor gamma dose (barring Budgam, Ganderbal and Kashmir University of Kashmir division and Reasi city of Jammu division) also exceed the world average. The probability of cancer development is higher in main-Shopian (3.65 × 10−3), Mala Bagh (2.80 × 10−3), Bundoda (2.88 × 10−3) and Dhadpeta (2.89 × 10−3), as total ELCR exceeds the world average. |
