Natural radioactivity in ceramic tiles and associated radiological hazards
Background: The natural radioactivity levels in ceramic tiles produced in Turkey were determined and the related radiological hazards were assessed. Materials and Methods: The natural radioactivity levels (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in the ceramic tiles were measured using high-purity germanium detector system (HPGe) and the related radiological hazards were assessed by radium equivalent activity (R...
متن کاملHuman health hazards associated with chemical contamination of aquatic environment.
Given the finite supply of water available for human use, continued chemical contamination of the aquatic environment may pose a significant human health hazard. Consequently, an effort must be made to develop ambient water quality criteria to protect human health and preserve the integrity of the aquatic environment. In developing water quality criteria based on human health effects, informati...
متن کاملA Longitudinal Analysis of Plan Quality Associated with Natural Hazards
While there is a growing body of research examining the quality of local planning, these studies often treat plans and planning problems as isolated incidents occurring in the spectrum of public decision making. However, comprehensive plans and similar policy statements are evolving instruments that undergo continual revisions and updates. Plans adapt over time to the needs, knowledge base, and...

PERSONNEL HAZARDS FROM MEDICAL ELECTRON ACCELERATOR PHOTONEUTRONS" R. C. McCall, T. M. Jenkins, R. A. Shore and P. D. LaRiviere+ Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, CA, U.S.A. and Varian Associates? INTRODUCTION For medical accelerators, neutron penetration through the room entry door is the major personnel hazard. Most therapy accelerator rooms are designed with at least a rudimentary maze to ...
متن کاملPredicting Natural Hazards with Neuronal Networks
Gravitational mass flows, such as avalanches, debris flows and rockfalls are common events in alpine regions with high impact on transport routes. Within the last few decades, hazard zone maps have been developed to systematically approach this threat. These maps mark vulnerable zones in habitable areas to allow effective planning of hazard mitigation measures and development of settlements. Ha...
