From the point of view of radiation safety, interstellar space is not empty. Neutral and ionized interstellar gas and cosmic rays consisting of H and He-nucleons constitute radiation hazard aboard relativistic interstellar ships. Relativistic aberration of cosmic rays is evaluated and radiation doses from oncoming relativistic flow of interstellar gas and cosmic rays are estimated. Necessary sh...

The paper analyzes the electromagnetic (EM) radiofrequency (RF) radiation hazards onboard a ship arising from shipboard radiocommunication and navigation equipment. EM field effect on personnel and equipment can be harmful if field levels exceed the threshold values. These fields need to be controlled for proper protection. Ships are equipped with lots of EM RF radiation sources with different ...

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 absorbed dose rat...

Radioactivity in the soil of a tea garden in the Fatickchari area in Chittagong, Bangladesh, was measured using a high-resolution HPGe detector. The soil samples were collected from depths of up to 20 cm beneath the soil surface. The activity concentrations of naturally occurring (238)U and (232)Th were observed to be in the range of 27 ± 7 to 53 ± 8 Bq kg(-1) and 36 ± 11 to 72 ± 11 Bq kg(-1), ...
