- Abstract
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy enables detection of paramagnetic centers generated in solids by ionising radiation. In the last years, the ubiquity of glass in personal utility items increased significance of fortuities retrospective dosimetry based on EPR in glass parts of mobile phones and watches. Despite of fading of the signals and their susceptibility to light, it enables dosimetry at medical triage level of 1–2 Gy. In this article information relevant for assessment of applicability and planning of the EPR dosimetry is presented—particularly at dose levels typical for radiation accidents. Reported data on fading of the radiation-induced spectral components are presented and compared. Effects of light on background spectra and on the dosimetric signals are also presented. It is concluded that when properly accounting for the fading and for the obscuring effects of light, the EPR dosimetry in glasses from mobile phones and watches can be used in dose assessment after radiation accidents.
