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...
متن کاملDetermination of uranium isotopes (234U, 238U) and natural uranium (U-nat) in water samples by alpha spectrometry
Background: Due to the potential public health effects of releases of uranium to the environment, isotopic determination and measurement of this radionuclide in environmental samples is very important. Achieving this goal, monitoring programs for this radionuclide seems necessary to be applied in many countries. Materials and Methods: The uranium was separated from the water samples using anion...
متن کاملEstimation excess risk cancer due to natural gamma radiation exposure in outdoor areas for residents of Dargaz city in 2016
Background and Objective: Humans are always exposed to ionizing radiation that could potentially have harmful effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the background gamma dose rate, the estimated annual effective dose, and the excess cancer risk assessment in Dargaz. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross sectional study which was conducted in January- March and July – September ...
متن کاملNatural 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...
متن کاملEnhancement of natural background gamma-radiation dose around uranium microparticles in the human body.
Ongoing controversy surrounds the adverse health effects of the use of depleted uranium (DU) munitions. The biological effects of gamma-radiation arise from the direct or indirect interaction between secondary electrons and the DNA of living cells. The probability of the absorption of X-rays and gamma-rays with energies below about 200 keV by particles of high atomic number is proportional to t...
