Re: Temperature dependence of TLD response

Temperature and humidity that you referenced should not be a 
problem. I am aware of many who use environmental monitors that 
incorporate LiF, LiBO, CaF and CaSO elements. My 
recommendation would be to use CaF or CaSO elements which 
are more appropriate for low dose measurements when compared 
to LiF or LiBO. LiBO is also hydroscopic, and is not the best 
dosimeter to be in a wet environment (or high humidity area) for an 
extended period of time.
