چکیده
This section introduces some of the basic concepts of radioactivity. It is designed to provide the general reader with an overall understanding of the radiological sections of this report. A discussion of the analyses used to quantify radioactive material, the common sources of radioactivity in the environment, and how each contributes to an individual’s radiation dose are provided. Some general statistical concepts are also presented, along with a discussion of radionuclides of environmental interest on the BNL site.

Introduction: Welding is considered to be one of the main sources of occupational exposure to non ionizing radiations. The present study was conducted to examine the rate of occupational exposure to non-ionizing radiation in common welding processes. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive analytical study, occupational exposure to different types of non-ionizing radiations in...
متن کاملInvestigation on thermal behavior of common types of roofs in buildings using computational fluid dynamics method
In this study, the influence of type and structure of different roofing systems were investigated using computational fluid dynamic method. The considered roofing systems include beam and block types (clay brick, light weight concrete block, polystyrene) and Uboot slab which were designed for 6m and 8m span. To simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer, the computational fluid dynamic method wa...
متن کاملBasal cell carcinoma superimposed on an old scar of localized cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A case report
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the skin, which originates from the basal cell layer of the skin. It is more common in white race with skin types I and II. Some predisposing factors are sunlight, ionizing radiation, arsenic salts, PUVA and scar. We present a case of BCC, which appeared over an old scar of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis in a 49-year-old woman.
متن کاملPatient-Specific Radiation Dose and Cancer Risk in Computed Tomography Examinations in Ondo, Nigeria
Introduction: The dose in computed tomography (CT) often approach or exceed the optimum levels, thereby increasing the probability of cancer induction. With wide application of this diagnostic test, it is expedient to determine the effective dose (ED) for each patient to estimate their cancer risk. This study was conducted to investigate the patient-specific dose (PSD) and cancer risk in CT exa...
متن کاملA Glance at the Errors of Some Studies on the Health Effects of High Background Natural Radiation Areas
There is no place on the Earth, the planet we live on, where the natural background radiation level is zero. Since the birth and even in our fetal stage, we have been exposed to different sources of natural radiation. Life, in fact, evolved in a radiation environment that was much more harsh than today. Earth serves as a source of terrestrial radiation. Uranium, thorium, and radium are among th...
متن کاملAssessment of indoor cancer linked to accumulated radiation dose from different types of television sets in dwellings
Exposure to radiation from different types of television sets was measured to ascertain the levels of hazards posed to the human biological system. Measurement of the annual radiation dose hazards was performed using a halogen-quenched GM tube with thin mica end window having a density of 1.5 mg/cm2, effective window diameter of 0.360 inch and side wall of 0.012 inch thick. The GM tube was plac...
