Radium and radon exhalation studies of soil
Background: Everyone is exposed to radon because it is present everywhere with varying concentrations. Radon and its progeny are well established as lung carcinogenic. Materials and Methods: Track etch technique using LR-115 plastic track detectors has been used to measure the effective radium content and radon exhalation rates in soil samples collected from urban area of Etah district...
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...
متن کاملHazards Assessment of Radon Exhalation Rate and Radium Content in the Soil Samples in Iraqi Kurdistan Using Passive and Active Detecting Methods
This study aims to assess the environmental hazards from radon exhalation rate in the soil samples in selected locations in Iraqi Kurdistan, using passive (CR-39NTDs) and active (RAD7) detecting method. Radon concentration, effective radium content and radon exhalation rate were estimated in soil samples that collected at the depth level of 30 cm inside 124 houses. The results show that the ema...
متن کاملRadon exhalation rates from stone and soil samples of Aravali hills in India
Background: The most popular building materials are soil bricks and different types of stones. Radon is released into ambient air from soil and stones due to ubiquitous uranium and radium in them, thus increasing the airborne radon concentration. The radioactivity in soils is related to radioactivity in the rocks from which the soil is formed. In the present investigation, the radon em...
متن کاملEstimation of Radon Exhalation Rate and Radium Content in Soil Samples of Pathankot District, Punjab Using LR-115 Plastic Detector
In the present investigation, soil samples were collected from 10 villages belonging to Pathankot district, Punjab, India and assessed for radium content using LR-115 plastic detector. The ‘track etch’ technique has been employed for measuring the radium content. From the radium content, radon exhalation rates and mass exhalation rates were calculated for these samples. The mass exhalation rate...
