Natural radioactivity in ceramic tiles and associated radiological hazards
Background: The natural radioactivity levels in ceramic tiles produced in Turkey were determined and the related radiological hazards were assessed. Materials and Methods: The natural radioactivity levels (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in the ceramic tiles were measured using high-purity germanium detector system (HPGe) and the related radiological hazards were assessed by radium equivalent activity (R...
متن کاملNatural Radioactivity and Dose Assessment for Brands of Chemical and Organic Fertilizers Used in Saudi Arabia
The activity concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides K, Ra and Th have been measured in different brands of fertilizer samples in Saudi Arabia using sodium iodide gamma spectrometry. The results of measurements showed that the mean (ranges) of specific activities for Ra, Th and K activities in the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are 64 (35.8 120.7), 17 (3.2 56.8) and 2...
متن کاملNatural radioactivity levels and associated radiation hazards in Nile river sediments from Aswan to El-Minia, Upper Egypt
The natural radionuclides Ra, Th and K contents in the Nile river sediments at various locations in Upper Egypt from Aswan to El-Minia have been investigated using gamma spectrometric analysis. Determination and measurement of radionuclide concentration are of great importance for assessment of external radiation dose received by man. The range and mean values of Ra, Th and K activity concentra...
متن کاملNatural radioactivity levels of some medicinal plants commonly used in Ghana
Natural radioactivity levels in some selected medicinal plants commonly used in Ghana from the Centre for Scientific Research into Plant Medicine were investigated to determine the activity concentration and the annual committed effective dose due to naturally occurring radionuclides of (238)U, (232)Th and (40)K. The activity concentration was determined using gamma-ray spectrometry. The result...
متن کاملNATURAL RADIOACTIVITY (Ra, Th AND K) AND ASSESSMENT OF RADIOLOGICAL HAZARDS IN THE KESTANBOL GRANITOID, TURKEY
The surveys of natural gamma-emitting radionuclides in rocks and soils from the Ezine plutonic area were conducted during 2007. Direct dose measurement using a survey meter was carried out simultaneously. The present study, which is part of the survey, analysed the activity concentrations of U, Th and K in granitoid samples from all over the region by HPGe gamma spectrometry. The activity conce...
