Study of natural radioactivity to Assess of radiation hazards from soil samples collected from Mounana in south-east of Gabon
Background: The present work aims to determine the activity concentrations of 226Ra, 233Th and 40K in soil samples collected in Mounana in the Southeastern region of Gabon, to evaluate the contribution of the natural. Materials and Methods: An HPGe p-type detector coupled with a multichannel analyzer DSA-1000 was used to perform measurements and process data. Data acquisition and analysis were ...
متن کاملRadioactivity and radiation hazard assessment of Cauvery River, Tamilnadu, India
Background: Natural radiation is constantly present in the environment and is emitted from a variety of natural and artificial sources. It affects human body and environment. Materials and Methods: The activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K have been determined by Gamma ray spectrometer with an HPGe detector in sediments of Cauvery River, Tamilnadu, India. Results: The absorbe...
متن کاملMeasurement of Natural Radioactivity and Assessment of Associated Radiation Hazards in Soil Samples
Introduction e knowledge of radionuclide distribution and radiation levels in the environment is important for assessing the effects of radiation exposure due to both terrestrial and cosmogenic sources. Terrestrial radiation is due to radioactive nuclides present in varying amounts in soils, building materials, water, rocks and atmosphere. Some of the radionuclides from these sources are trans...
متن کاملAssessment of Natural Radioactivity and Associated Radiation Hazards in Some Building Materials Used in Kilpenathur, Tiruvannamalai Dist, Tamilnadu, India
The present study aimed to measure the activity concentration of natural radionuclides in the locally used building materials from Kilpenthaur, Tiruvannmalai Dist, Tamilnadu, India was investigated with an aim of evaluating the radiation hazard arising due to the use of these materials in the construction of dwellings. The concentrations of natural radionuclides Ra, Th and K in four types of bu...
متن کاملComparative assessment of natural radioactivity and radiological hazards in building tiles and sharp sand sourced locally and those imported from China and India
Background: Thirteen (13) types of building tiles and Sharp sand commonly used for building purposes were collected for their radionuclide contents analysis. Both imported and locally produced building tiles were examined. Materials and Methods: The samples of tiles and sand were crushed to powder and they were prepared such that their content could be examined by the use of gamma-ray spectrom...
