Depending on the geographical location, the background radiation may vary within certain limits. For example, for Kyiv, in Ukraine, these figures can be from 0.1 mkSv / hour to 0.26 mkSv / hour.
At the same time, the normal level is considered to be 0.3 mkSv / hour. Dangerous - above 0.6 mkSv / hour.
Thus, it depends on the norms for your area and its features and the history of radiation pollution in the past (read the Chernobyl disaster) or man-made objects nearby.
Also important for consideration are the doses of human radiation exposure per year set at the national level in different countries.
To verify that your device is working properly, it is advisable to compare the measurements with an calibrated device that you trust.
