The publication by Sulekha Rao et al. entails the measurement of radiation in three areas, i.e. Gopalpur, Chhatrapur and Rushikulya along the southern coast of Odisha by deploying TLD badges in different houses and later converting the data into annual dose equivalent in terms of mSv yr-1. The attempt by the authors to measure background radiation of certain areas and then discuss various aspects of radiation and its health effects is quite informative and appreciable. However, certain statements made in the publication, as noted below, may be incorrect and amount to misleading the readers and the public at large.
