A new natural gamma radiation measurement system for marine sediment and rock analysis

Gamma Radiation Measurement due to Natural Radioactivity in Hot Water Spring of Behbahan

Introduction: Many people use hot water springs to treat some diseases, such as rheumatism, arthritis, and skin diseases, but they are unaware of the presence of natural radioactive substances that may be found in hot water springs. An effective way to understand the radiation risk of these elements are measuring the dose rate of radiation. In this study, for the first time, ga...

Developing a Method for Increasing Accuracy and Precision in Measurement System Analysis: A Fuzzy Approach

Measurement systems analysis (MSA) has been applied in different aspect of industrial assessments to evaluate various types of quantitative and qualitative measures. Qualification of a measurement system depends on two important features: accuracy and precision. Since the capability of each quality system is severely related to the capability of its measurement system, the weakness of the two...

Gamma background radiation measurement in Lorestan province, Iran

Background: The exposure of human being to ionize radiation from natural sources is a continuing, inescapable feature of life on earth. Direct measurement of absorbed dose rates in air has been carried out in many countries of the world during the last few decades. Such investigations can be useful for assessment of public dose rates, the performance of epidemiological studies, and kee...

Natural Gamma Radiation in Primary Schools of Zanjan Province

Background: Environmental gamma ray refers to the gamma radiation from terrestrial sources and building materials. In enclosed spaces radiation can become a health hazard leading to potential increase in the rates of lung cancer. The goal of this study is to assess the exposure to natural gamma radiation of children in the schools of Zanjan province. Method:The natural gamma radiation was asse...
