In the event of large-scale radiation accidents and considering a growing terrorism concern, non-invasive and sufficiently accurate retrospective dosimetry methods are necessary to carry out a fast population triage in order to determine which radiation-exposed individuals need medical treatment. Retrospective dosimetry using different electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits present on mobile phone circuit boards have been considered. Their response has been investigated with luminescence techniques (OSL, IRSL, and TL). The majority of these electronic components exhibit radiation-induced luminescence signals, and the OSL technique seems the most promising for these materials. Results concerning three types of components that present the most interesting OSL characteristics (in terms of signal annealing and sensitivity) and that are the most often present on mobile phone circuit boards are presented. Preheating effects on OSL signal, sensitization, and dose-response curves from 0.7 to 27 Gy for resistors and from 0.7 to 160 Gy for capacitors and integrated circuits, dose recovery tests, and signal stability 10 h after irradiation have been studied and interests and limits of their use evaluated.

“…Beerten and Vanhavare (2010) showed that the OSL signal has a strong photon energy dependence below a few hundred keV. Pascu et al (2013) investigated chip modules from SIM cards with similar results to those reported by Mathur et al (2007). Table 3 summarizes the main features and conclusions, along with some representative citations, for all materials mentioned in this review which have been studied using EPR, TL or OSL for possible use in emergency triage dosimetry.…”

“…Furthermore, a sensitivity change was observed following re-use of the material, indicating that this needs to be eliminated or accounted for in order to perform accurate dosimetry. Mathur et al (2007) followed up this initial work and confirmed the large "zerodose" signal for TL, but extended the study to blue-light-stimulated OSL in addition to IR-OSL. Blue-stimulated OSL curves and the dose response are shown in Fig.…”

“…However, the reverse side, often covered by a plastic laminate, can be used for OSL dosimetry after extraction of the chip from the card. The chip is usually covered in an epoxy cover ( Göksu, 2003 andMathur et al, 2007; see also Fig. 35) and experiments have revealed that it is the silicate materials added to the epoxy that are the main source of the OSL signal potentially useful for dosimetry .…”

HIGHLIGHTSReview of the use of luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance in retrospective and emergency dosimetry.Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), thermoluminescence (TL) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) results on biological and physical materials.Descriptions of use in emergency and retrospective dosimetry, following large-scale radiological events.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1350448716302359 ABSTRACTThis paper reviews recent research on the application of the physical dosimetry techniques of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and luminescence (optically stimulated luminescence, OSL, and thermoluminescence, TL) to determine radiation dose following catastrophic, large-scale radiological events. Such data are used in dose reconstruction to obtain estimates of dose due to the exposure to external sources of radiation, primarily gamma radiation, by individual members of the public and by populations. The EPR and luminescence techniques have been applied to a wide range of radiological studies, including nuclear bomb detonation (e.g., Hiroshima and Nagasaki) nuclear power plant accidents (e.g., Chernobyl), radioactive pollution (e.g., Mayak plutonium facility), and in the future could include terrorist events involving the dispersal of radioactive materials. In this review we examine the application of these techniques in 'emergency' and 'retrospective' modes of operation that are conducted on two distinct timescales. For emergency dosimetry immediate action to evaluate dose to individuals following radiation exposure is required to assess deterministic biological effects and to enable rapid medical triage. Retrospective dosimetry, on the other hand, contributes to the reconstruction of doses to populations and individuals following external exposure, and contributes to the long-term study of stochastic processes and the consequential epidemiological effects. Although internal exposure, via ingestion of radionuclides for example, can be a potentially significant contributor to dose, this review is confined to those dose components arising from exposure to external radiation, which in most studies is gamma radiation.The nascent emergency dosimetry measurement techniques aim to perform direct dose evaluations for individuals who, as members of the public, are most unlikely to be carrying a dosimeter issued for radiation monitoring purposes in the event of a radiation incident. Hence attention has focused on b...

“…Some of the most interesting materials are electronic components from portable devices (Bassinet et al, 2010;Woda et al, 2010;Inrig et al, 2008), chips from bank and telephone cards (Woda and Sp€ ottl, 2009;Mathur et al, 2007;G€ oksu, 2003), household salt (Bernhardsson et al, 2009;Christiansson et al, 2012), and dental repair materials (Geber-Bergstrand et al, 2012;Veronese et al, 2010). The present study investigates the dosimetric properties of different desiccants for their possible use as fortuitous dosemeters.…”
