The background radiation in Finland ranges from 0.05 to 0.30 microsieverts per hour (µSv/h). The regional variation depends on differences of uranium concentration in Finnish rock and soil. Snow and ice attenuate radiation from the ground.
The monitoring network has two main tasks: alarming when dose rates rise and creating a real-time radiation situation overview of Finland.
The radiation situation in Europe can be viewed on the European Commission's EURDEP Gamma Dose Rates Simple Map.
