The sedimentary environment is a repository and carrier for variety of pollutants, sediment transport from land to coastal areas an important environmental process. In the present study, we use 210 Pb/ 226 Ra 137 Cs in cores assess supply rates at four sites within Vefsnfjord Nordland county, Norway. This area was highly affected by fallout Chernobyl accident 1986 inventories fjord are much hig...

 ABSTRACTBackground: 226 Ra and 228 Ra contents in foodstuffs of Ramsar which is a coastal city in the northern part of Iran were determined by gamma spectrometry. Measurement results together with food consumption rates were used to estimate annual effective dose from  226 Ra and 228 Ra, due to consumption of food stuffs by inhabitants of Ramsar city.Materials and Methods: A total of 33 sample...

A total of seven samples of bottled fruit juice produced and consumed in Nigeria were used for the study. The average concentrations of radionuclides contained in some bottled fruit juice produced and consumed in Nigeria and also exported to neighboring countries have been estimated by means of scintillation detector which is sodium Iodide activated with thallium (Na (Ti)). The radionuclides ob...

Background: Radioactive contamination in soil arises due to various activities of human being, such as nuclear energy generation, use of radioisotopes in industrial applications, science, technology, medicine and release of radiation in nuclear weapon tests. Materials and Methods: The two districts (Peshawar and Nowshera) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan were selected for the study of anthropoge...

To track the long term bioaccumulation of (137)Cs in marine organisms off the Pacific Northwest coast of Canada, we developed a time dependent bioaccumulation model for (137)Cs in a marine mammalian food web that included fish-eating resident killer whales. The model outcomes show that (137)Cs can be expected to gradually bioaccumulate in the food web over time as demonstrated by the increase o...

The aim of this work, to estimate the External exposure, ingestion Exposure and inhalation exposure dose rate from gamma ray released from Natural Radionuclides in cultivated, uncultivated and phosphate soil samples in the area surrounding EL-Naser Factory for phosphate in El-Mahamid, Idfu, Aswan, Upper Egyp by using modeling, this model studied the exposure gamma radiation from different natur...
