How can i get my radiation levels tested?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lab: Workers around emitted radiation ( xray, xrt, etc.) are monitored regularly with dosimeters and those with exposure to particulate radiation ( nuclear industry) are additionally monitored with radiation counters and body fluid samples. Internal contamination is sometimes measured in special chambers if screening tests are abnormal. If you have concerns you should talk to your doc.
