Key Points

The study aims to evaluate radiation doses in uranium miners through tooth enamel EPR spectroscopy.
Utilized EPR spectroscopy to analyze tooth enamel samples.
Compared radiation doses of miners with those of non-mining individuals from the same settlement.
Measured mean dose and variability of radiation exposure.
Miners exhibited a higher mean radiation dose than non-mining individuals.
Significant variation in radiation exposure levels was noted among miners.

Abstract

A higher mean dose and greater variation were observed for miners in comparison to non-mining people in the same settlement. These differences were likely due to the occupational exposure.
