Evaluation of Natural Radionuclide content in Nile River Sediments and Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk Associated with Gamma Radiation
Introduction: This Study has was carried out to measure and detect the natural occurred radionuclide content including 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the Nile River sediments at various locations in Upper Egypt, from Aswan to El-Minya. Additionally, we determine the absorbed dose rate, the annual effective dose equivalent, and excess lifetime cancer risk also has been calculated. Material and Metho...

متن کاملDetermination of Excess Lifetime Cancer Risk Due to Gamma Radiation in Some Agricultural Products Obtained From Two Oil Fields in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria
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...
