Radiation hazard in soil from Ajaokuta North-central Nigeria
Background: Measurement of the radiation dose distribution is important in assessing the health risk a population and serve as reference in documenting changes to environmental radioactivity in soil due to man-made activities. Materials and Methods: The activity concentration of 238U, 232Th and 40K in soil samples obtained from different locations in Ajaokuta Local Government area was measured ...
متن کاملRadiation driven winds from luminous accretion disks
We study the two-dimensional, time-dependent hydrodynamics of radiation-driven winds from luminous accretion disks in which the radiation force is mediated primarily by spectral lines. We assume the disk is flat, Keplerian, geometrically thin, and optically thick, radiating as an ensemble of blackbodies according to the α-disk prescription. The effect of a radiant central star is included both ...

Improving the Presage Polymer Radiosensitivity for Hot Cell and Glovebox 3D Characterization Adamovics, John; Farfan, Eduardo B.; Coleman, J. Rusty Health Physics (2013), 104(1), 63-67. RadBall is a novel, passive, radiation detection device that provides 3D mapping of radiation from areas where measurements have not been possible previously due to lack of access or extremely high radiation dos...
متن کاملUltraviolet radiation and health: from hazard identification to effective prevention.
The increased exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation due to ozone depletion is one of the most serious global health problems. The UV exposure is known to cause skin carcinoma, cataract and deteriorated immune function, but for countries like Japan, the magnitude of health effects of UV radiation is yet to be elucidated. The International Workshop on the Health Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation ...
متن کاملThe scientific basis of the radiation hazard.
Radiation hazards have been known for more than 60 years. Only a few months after Rontgen’s discovery in I 895, enthusiasts were burning themselves and their patients by liberal applications of the new X-rays. Soon the dangers of X-rays and radium became all too obvious, or so it seems to us. At the time, few people were much alarmed and no effective measures of control were organized until abo...
