Etymology

The term 'dosimeter' originates from the Latin word 'dosis,' meaning dose, which relates to the quantity of a substance administered or taken. The term emerged in the early to mid-20th century as the need to quantify radiation exposure became critical in various fields, especially in health and safety practices in industries involving radioactive materials. Over the decades, the technology and materials used to create dosimeters have evolved significantly, transitioning from simple photographic film to sophisticated electronic devices that provide real-time data. The development of dosimeters has played a vital role in occupational health and safety and has contributed to the advancement of radiation science.
