Radioactivity level of soil around a coal-fired thermal power plant of northwest China
Background: The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in soil around a coal-fired thermal power plant of northwest China were investigated for assessing the radioactivity level. Materials and Methods: Soil samples were collected around the coal-fired thermal power plant and their radioactivity levels were determined using gamma ray spectrometry. Radiation hazards were assessed by rad...
متن کاملPhoton attenuation, natural radioactivity content and radon exhalation rate of building materials.
High concentrations of natural radionuclides in building materials can result in high dose rates indoors, from both internal and external exposure. In dose calculations, the main radionuclides of interest are 226Ra, 232Th and 40K. Usually much attention is paid to 226Ra due to 222Rn exhalation and the subsequent internal exposure. Other radionuclides of the uranium series such as 238U and 210Pb...
متن کاملMeasurement of Natural Radioactivity in Coal, Soil and Water Samples Collected from Barapukuria Coal Mine in Dinajpur District of Bangladesh
The activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40, were measured by using a gamma ray spectrometry for coal, soil and water samples collected from the Barapukuria coal mine in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. The average activity concentrations of Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 in coal samples were found to be 6.21±3.68, 10.69±7.5 and 185.76±138.86 Bqkg, respecti...
متن کاملNatural Radioactivity and Radon Concentrations in Parenteral Nutrition Samples Utilized in Iraqi Hospitals
Introduction: This study was conducted to measure the gamma emitters (e.g., uranium-238 [238U], thorium-232 [232Th], and potassium-40[40K]) and alpha emitters (e.g., radon-222 [222Rn] and radium), and also to evaluate the radiation hazard indices of radionuclides in parenteral nutrition samples utilized in the hospitals of Iraq. Material and Methods: The measurements were accomplished using ga...
متن کاملThe effective radium content and radon exhalation rate in hair dyes samples
Background: Hair dyes are the important materials widely used by various peoples in Iraq and other countries. The present work investigates the presence of the effective radium content and radon exhalation rate in hair dyes samples. Materials and Methods: Twenty hair dyes samples were collected from Iraqi markets. Sealed can technique using LR-115 type II plastic track detector s ha...
