| Abstract: | Humans are exposed to ionizing radiation all the time, and it is known that it can induce a variety of harmful biological
effects. Consequently, it is necessary to quantitatively assess the level of exposure to this radiation as the basis for estimating
risks due to ionization radiation. During the Work Package 2400 of the COST-724/WG-2 action, a number of spacecraft and aircraft
experiments have been performed with both active and passive detectors. A large data base has been created.
In this contribution we would like to stress the results obtained and their importance in three particular directions: (i)
Simultaneous investigation of galactic cosmic rays on aircraft and on the International Space Station (ISS); (ii) Onboard
spacecraft neutron contribution as estimated on the basis of the comparison of results measured with MDU/Liulin equipment
onboard ISS, foton capsule and a commercial aircraft flying at subsonic altitudes; (iii) Complex analysis of the results of
long term measurements onboard a Czech Airlines aircraft. The results obtained are presented, analyzed, and discussed, and
their complementary nature is underlined. The contribution represents a version of the Final Report of the Work Package 2400
of the COST-724/WG-2: Radiation Environment of the Earth. |
