Kajian dan pemantauan yang dilakukan terhadap taburan penentuan aktiviti keradioaktifan radionuklid semula jadi boleh dijadikan panduan rujukan serta amat berguna terutamanya ketika berlakunya dedahan sinaran tinggi tidak terancang daripada sumber antropogenik kemalangan nuklear global. Sampel tanah permukaan dari 12 lokasi telah dikenal pasti di sekitar kawasan kemudahan repositori diambil unt...

The present study was carried out to determine the activity concentrations of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in surface soil samples collected from twenty five different locations of Industrial Yanbu city located in western region of Saudi Arabia, using a NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometer. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the soil samples from the studied area ranged from 25.21 Bq kg t...

Radioactivity measurements for naturally occurred radionuclides of 40K, 226Ra, 228Ra were carried out in some agricultural products harvested from two oil fields within the Nigeria Delta Region of Nigeria. The values obtained were used to determine the excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) and the radiation health hazard indices. Results show that the mean calculated ELCR values obtained from vege...

Abstract G. Gattar is located in the northern part of Eastern Desert Egypt, bounded by latitudes 26° 52´ - 27° 08´ N and longitudes 33° 13´ – 26´ E covers an area about 178 km2. Eighteen samples, nine from uraniferous mineralized granites were measured radiometrically for 238U, 232Th, 226RaeU 40K determination Na-I detector radioactive minerals identified alpha track method. Based on petrograph...

Background: Turkey, especially the northern part of it, was one of the countries which were contaminated by the Chernobyl accident.  Rize is a city located in the Northeastern district of Turkey which was heavily influenced by the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Materials and Methods: In this study, the activity concentrations of natural (226Ra, 232Th, 40K) and artificial (137Cs) were measurem...

Background: Inspection of the level of radioactivity from radionuclides in soil is important for the assessment of the exposure to natural radiation. Materials and Methods: Ten samples from soil were collected from different sites of Kirkuk-IRAQ and the level of natural radioactivity was measured using gamma-ray spectrometry based on a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. Results: It was foun...

introduction: one of the sources of natural occurring radiation was soils. the purpose of article was to determine soil pollution by radiation absorbed dose rate, radium equivalent activity, external hazard index, annual gonad dose equivalent and annual effective dose equivalent. methods & materials: the soil samples was located in chahbahar city in blouchestan of iran, was chosen for studying ...

Radionuclides and heavy metals/metalloids content in soils shore sediments of Al-Negila area (Matrouh, Egypt) were determined to assess the associated environmental risks. A total 46 soil sediment samples collected analysed for natural man-made radionuclides (238U series, 232Th 40K 137Cs) (Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Si, Sr, Zn, Hg). Within study area, are mainly calcareous with ...

background: turkey, especially the northern part of it, was one of the countries which were contaminated by the chernobyl accident.  rize is a city located in the northeastern district of turkey which was heavily influenced by the chernobyl nuclear accident. materials and methods: in this study, the activity concentrations of natural (226ra, 232th, 40k) and artificial (137cs) were measurements ...
