Radioactivity and radiation hazard assessment of Cauvery River, Tamilnadu, India
Background: Natural radiation is constantly present in the environment and is emitted from a variety of natural and artificial sources. It affects human body and environment. Materials and Methods: The activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K have been determined by Gamma ray spectrometer with an HPGe detector in sediments of Cauvery River, Tamilnadu, India. Results: The absorbe...
متن کاملUse of Radiation and Isotopes in Insects
One of the first successful experiments to verify the effects of an ionizing radiation over an insect (Lasioderma serricorne F., the cigarette beetle) was performed by Runner in 1916. Soon afterwards, Muller demonstrated in 1927 that rays from radioactive substances could induce genetic damage and a larger number of dominant lethal mutations in Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, which were express...
متن کاملRadioactivity of Tobacco Leaves and Radiation Dose Induced from Smoking
The radioactivity in tobacco leaves collected from 15 different regions of Greece and before cigarette production was studied in order to find out any association between the root uptake of radionuclides from soil ground by the tobacco plants and the effective dose induced to smokers from cigarette tobacco due to the naturally occurring primordial radionuclides , such as 226Ra and 210Pb of the ...
متن کاملIonizing Radiation Disinfestation Treatments against Pest Insects
Pesticides are often considered a suitable solution for controlling pests. However, the use of chemicals is very costly, and their residues have always the potential to pollute soil, air, and ground water and also pose significant risks to the natural ecosystems and nontarget organisms. Considering all these, irradiation could offer substantial and charming option for eliminating the export com...
