Radioactivity assessment in Euphrates river sediment samples

This study was carried out to investigate builds up a rule map on various radiological factors in and around the Euphrates River Iraq. Radon levels, radium content surface mass radon exhalation rates for 20 sediment tests gathered from different districts along River, Iraq, (about 500km long) using can technique, with CR-39 plastic detector. fixation esteems were viewed as going 835.0 2797.7 Bq.m-3 normal worth of 1703.5 Bq.m-3. The 12.5 Bg.kg-1 while most minimal elevated determined upsides (CRa) 6.1 20.5 Bq.kg-1, respectively. (surface ES Em) samples found vary (0.41 1.37) Bq.m-2.h-1 (0.09 0.31) Bq.kg-1.h-1with average values 0.83 0.19 Bq.kg-1.h-1, CRa all lower than recommended value 30 Bq.kg-1 given by UNSCEAR. Hence, results show that area is safe far health hazard effects are concerned, surveyed sites allowable limit.
