Estimation of excess lifetime cancer risk and radiation hazard indices in southern Iraq
TL;DR: In this paper, the average activity concentrations of some radionuclides (226Ra, 238U, 232Th, and 40K) have been measured in surface and subsurface soils in areas (southern Iraq) where many warfare actions have taken place during the Iran-Iraq and Gulf wars.

Dose rate estimates and spatial interpolation maps of outdoor gamma dose rate with geostatistical methods; A case study from Artvin, Turkey.
TL;DR: This study compared compliance of geostatistical estimation methods to ensure investigation and imaging natural Fon radiation using the minimum number of data and illustrated that local changes are better reflected by UK method compared to OK method and its error variance is found to be lower.

Terrestrial Gamma Radiation in Kochi Prefecture, Japan
TL;DR: Absorbed dose rates in air (dose rate) from terrestrial gamma radiations obtained using a scintillation survey meter ranged from 13.8 to 187 nGy/h depending on the geological features in Kochi Prefecture, suggesting that the authors continue to be under the influence of nuclear tests in the atmosphere.
