Natural radioactivity assessment in soil samples from Kirkuk city of Iraq using HPGe detector
Background: Inspection of the level of radioactivity from radionuclides in soil is important for the assessment of the exposure to natural radiation. Materials and Methods: Ten samples from soil were collected from different sites of Kirkuk-IRAQ and the level of natural radioactivity was measured using gamma-ray spectrometry based on a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. Results: It was foun...
متن کاملRadiation 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 کاملMeasurement of Radon Concentrations and Surface Exhalation Rates using CR-39 detector in Soil Samples of Al-Diwaniyah Governorate, Iraq
Introduction: Natural radioactivity in the soil is considered a major indicator of radiological contamination. Primordial radionuclides are the main source of natural radioactivity. Natural radioactivity transfers radionuclides into the environment and poses radiation hazards to people's health. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the radon concentration an...
متن کاملUse of LR-115 Detector to Measure Radon Concentrations in Milk and Tea Samples Collected From Misan Markets in Iraq
Introduction: Radioactive material is always present in the environment, and the largest contribution to the inhalation exposure comes from the short half-life decay products of radon. Accordingly, the concentrations of radon were measured in the milk and tea samples collected from Misanmarkets in Iraq. Material and Methods: A total of 2...
متن کاملEstimation of Activity Concentration of Uranium, Thorium and Potassium, by Using HPge Detector
The measurements of activity concentration of uranium, thorim and potassium were carried out in radiation shielding bricks, granites, soil, hematite, bricks, and sand by using a high resolution high purity Germanium (HPGe) gamma-ray spectrometer system. The activity concentrations of uranium, thorium and potassium contents are 80 ± 5 Bq/kg, 103±10 Bq/kg and 1014±15 Bq/kg, respectively in radiat...
