Luminescence Due to Radioactivity

Cancer Risk Due to the Natural Radioactivity in Cigarette Tobacco

Thirty-one samples of cigarettes have been collected from local markets of different types of origins. The samples were selected according to a survey distributed to smokers by paper and digital survey to see the most heavily traded among smokers and in addition to a number of questions to see how the awareness and the culture of smokers in diseases caused by smoking and considered this study t...

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...

An Introduction to Radioactivity

radioactivity levels and health risks due to radionuclides in the soil of yalova, northwestern turkey

naturally occurring radionuclide of terrestrial origin (also called primordial radionuclide) are present in various degrees in all media in the environment, including the human body itself. their concentrations in environment decrease continually by decaying. the main objective of this study is to evaluate the radioactivity levels and health risks due to terrestrial radionuclide in soil of yal...

Two-dimensional measurement of natural radioactivity of granitic rocks by photostimulated luminescence technique

Two-dimensional measurement of radiation produced by natural irradiation of granitic rocks was performed by the use of an imaging plate, which is a storage film coated with photostimulated phosphor (BaFBr:Eu2+). Radiation images of small volume specimens, such as thin sections were obtained with the imaging plate. Irradiation images of granitic rocks are inhomogeneous and the intensity of photo...
