Marine sediment samples were collected along the Jeddah coast, Red Sea, Saudi Arabia, in order to assess radiation hazards and exposure human marine living organisms. Using collaborative techniques, grain size, mineralogical characteristics, natural radioactivity investigated. To examine influence of characteristics over distribution measured radionuclides, resulting data statistically processe...

The present paper measures natural radioactivity in different areas of Wassit governorate, using (HPGe) detector. Gamma spectrum analysis for each sample along with caululated specific activity show that the average concentrations of U-238, Th-232, and K-40 have been 19.420±4.7 Bq/kg, 18.487±5.05 Bq/kg, and 204.266±46.9 Bq/kg respectively, which is lower than the worldwide average value. While ...

This study is aimed at assessing radiation hazards associated with natural radioactivity in common building materials used Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Thirty-six samples from eighteen types of were collected to measure activity concentrations using the gross alpha/beta counting system and gamma-ray spectrometry. The alpha beta ranged 94.7 ? 31.3 1045.1 112.3 Bqkg-1 104.9 4.7 834.4 37.1 Bqkg-1, r...

Abstract Soil and sand samples were collected from eight different locations in the Al-Dakhiliya governorate, Sultanate of Oman to determine evaluate natural artificial radioactivity levels. The activity concentrations radionuclides 137 Cs, 226 Ra, 40 K, 235 U 228 Ac measured using high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy detectors (HPGe detectors). In addition, radiation hazard indexes evaluated...

the territory of serbia is vulnerable to various types of natural hazards and the risk is not equal across the entire territory; it varies depending on the type of hazard and the expected potential for damage. the first aim of this research was to determine the geographical distributions of the major types of natural hazards. seismic hazards, landslides, rock falls, floods, torrential floods...

background: the radioactivity levels in sediment and rock samples of i̇kizdere and kaptanpaşa valley have been determined. to our knowledge, there seems to be no information about radioactivity level in the i̇kizdere and kaptanpaşa valley sediments and rocks so far. materials and methods: the average radium equivalent activity (raeq), the total absorbed dose rate (d), the external risk index (hex...
