Use 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 کاملLong-term determination of airborne radon progeny concentrations using LR 115 solid-state nuclear track detectors
This paper described the establishment of lognormal distributions for the Jacobi room model parameters with a view to improve an existing method for long-term passive measurements of the equilibrium factor using LR 115 solid-state nuclear track detectors, namely, through the proxy equilibrium factor (Fp) method. Fp is defined as (C1 þ C3)/C0 where C0, C1 and C3 are the concentrations of 222Rn, ...
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 کاملMeasurement of Contemporary and Retrospective Radon Concentration in Ramsar Dwellings Using Polycarbonate Detector
The origins of radon gas are the amount of uranium decay in the soil that is released into space and through the interior gaps of buildings. Radon can enter the respiratory system and cause radiation hazards. Recently research has identified Radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking. The indoor concentration of Radon progeny is mentioned as an important issue reg...
متن کاملSurface Chemical Etching Behavior of Lr-115 Type Ii Solid State Nuclear Track Detector
Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs) are well known for the detection of ionizing radiation through track formation of heavy ionizing particles. The LR-115 detector is a commonly used SSNTD for the detection and measurement of Rn and its progeny. Several techniques of track revelation are known but, the chemical etching technique is the most frequently used in which tracks can be made v...
