文摘The Geiger is a proportional counter that detects the ambient ionizing radiation using a sensor tube and an associated electronics that allows feeding the desired voltage to the tube and acquiring the data in a certain time interval. With a sensor tube of Chinese and Russian origin and associated electronics based on the Arduino system, an experimental set of very low cost and easy handling for the monitoring of the local environmental ionizing radiation was set up. The main objective of this work is to disseminate this very low cost technique for the environmental study in secondary schools in Brazil.
