Summary/Abstract: Beta radiation is a form of ionizing radiation generated by the radioactive decay of unstable isotopes, with the ability to interact with matter and cause significant biological effects. This study was conducted in Suceava County, a region with diverse economic activities and potential for contamination, aiming to assess the levels of beta radiation in various locations. The methodology employed included direct measurements and analyses of soil samples, collected at varying depths to evaluate the distribution of radiation. Using calibrated Geiger-Müller counters and radiation probes, essential data regarding population exposure was obtained. The results were compared with safety limits established by international organizations, highlighting potential risks to public health. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring of radiation in Suceava County and suggests expanding research to other areas. This research contributes to a better understanding of the impact of beta radiation on the environment and public health, playing a role in supporting public health decisions.
