[en] Experiments have shown that the PVG dosifilm can be used as a routine dosimeter for gamma rays and electron beam irradiation. The specific net absorbance of the irradiated PVG dosifilm is affected by the irradiation temperature and relative humidity. The average value of the irradiation temperature coefficient in the temperature range 18 to 55 deg. C was found to be 0.008 of the response/deg. C. The relative humidity effect on the irradiated PVG dosifilm can be neglected below 30% r.h., but the correction is necessary at higher relative humidity. The average value of the coefficient is 0.006 of the response/% of r.h. in the range of 30% to 75% r.h. The irradiated PVG dosifilm must be stored for at least 24 hours after irradiation before reading due to the postirradiation effect. The total uncertainty in the dose measured by the PVG dosifilm is less than 10% for EB irradiation. (author)
