Abstract

With the increase in leisure life, the population of ski resorts is rapidly increasing. The activity at the ski resort is likely to receive a direct chance of natural sunlight or space ray. Because it is located in the mountains where altitude exists. As a general rule, it is widely known that the higher the elevation rate, the more increasing the natural radiation dose. However, the natural radiation dose rate for the ski slopes has not been reported yet. Various ski resorts exist in Korea, but this study had chose 4 ski resorts to measure the natural dose of natural radiation. As a result, the natural radiation dose for the ski slope was measured at a relatively high dose of ordinary living areas. However, the level of natural radiation dose was not worrisome. It is recommended to wear ski wear or goggles to minimize natural radiation exposure at the ski slopes.

레저생활의 급증으로 인하여 스키장 사용 인구가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 스키장은 직접적으로 자연광이나 우주선을 받을 확률이 높다. 왜냐하면 고도가 존재하는 산에 위치하기 때문이다. 일반적으로 고도가 높아질수록 자연방사선량이 증가한다는 사실은 널리 알려져 있다. 하지만 아직까지 스키장 고도에 관한 자연방사선량은 보고되지 않았다. 국내에는 다양한 스키장이 존재를 하지만 이번논문에서는 경기도 지역의 스키장4곳을 선정하여 고도에 따른 자연방사선량을 측정하였다. 결과적으로 스키장은 고도가 낮은 일반생활 지역에서보다는 방사선량보다 조금 많은 방사선량이 측정되었다. 우려할 수준은 아니지만 스키장 이용 시에는 반드시 스키 장비인 고글이나 다양한 스키 웨어(고글, 마스크, 헬멧)를 착용하여 자연방사선량을 보호한다면 환경방사선으로부터 안전하게 스키를 즐길 수 있을 것이다.
