This study presents the results of indoor and outdoor ambient gamma dose rates measured in and around industrial areas of Tumkur city. Different working places from four major industrial areas around Tumkur city in Karnataka state, India have been selected for the study. These measurements were carried out by using environmental radiation Dosimeter ER-709 which is a portable detector. By the measured average absorbed dose rates, annual effective dose (AED) has been calculated by a standard method. Results showed that the indoor absorbed dose rates in the air of Tumkur industrial areas ranged between 87 nGy h-1 to 191.40 nGy h-1 with an average of 136.45nGy h-1. Outdoor absorbed dose ranges from 69.60 nGy h-1to 113.83nGyh-1with an average of 156.60 nGyh-1. The indoor and outdoor AED ranged between 0.43 to 0.94 mSv/y with an average value of 0.67 mSv y-1 and 0.09 to 0.19 mSvy-1 with an average value of 0.14 mSv y-1respectively. The total effective dose ranges from 0.51 to 1.13 with an average of 0.81 mSv y-1. The calculated indoor and outdoor AEDs were found to be higher than the world average.
