Elements of natural radioactive decay series in Iranian drinking water and cigarettes.
The uranium (238U) decay series provides the most important isotopes of elements radium (226Ra), radon (222Rn), and polonium (210Po) with half-lives of about 1600 years, 3.8 days, and 140 days, respectively. Although the chemical structure of radium is very similar to calcium, the fact that it produces a radioactive gas (radon) complicates its handling in the laboratory and natural environment....

متن کاملMeasurement of some radioactive elements in drinking water in Arar city, Saudi Arabia
Exposure to radioactive elements or having them through drinking water causes many biological risks. Therefore, it is important to investigate the drinking water especially in regions where people depend on well water for drinking. Concentrations of some radionuclides in some water wells, in Arar city of Saudi Arabia, were measured by using Hyper Pure Germanium (HPGe) Detector. Concentrations o...
متن کاملNatural Radioactivity of Drinking Water Resources in Arak, Iran
The activity concentrations of 235U, 232Th, 226Ra, 40K and 137Cs in ground and surface of drinking water resources in Iranian city of Arak were determined by gamma ray spectrometry with aHPGe detector setup, coaxial p type and 8192 channels MCA. The water samples differed in radioactivity content depending on their origin and place. In the ...
متن کاملFlooding in Thailand and the problem of radioactive elements leakage
Sir, the big flooding in Thailand in 2011 is one of the problematic flooding in Asia. It causes several destroying to many things in the disaster areas. An important concern is on the effect on the setting with the radioactive elements usage. In Thailand, there are some places with radioactive elements including to the university, hospital as well as radioactive research center. Luckily, ...
