abstract

natural background radiation is the main source of human exposure to radioactive material. soils naturally have radioactive mineral contents. the aim of this study is to determine natural ((238) u, (232) th, (40) k) and artificial ((137) cs) radioactivity levels in wheat and corn fields of eilam province.hpge detector was used to measure the concentration activity of (238) u and (232) th series, (40) k and (137) cs in wheat and corn samples taken from different regions of eilam province, in iran.in wheat and corn samples, the average activity concentrations of (226) ra, (232) th, (40) k and (137) cs were found to be 1, 67, 0.5, 91.73, 0.01 and 0.81, 0.85, 101.52, 0.07 bq/kg (dry weight), respectively. h ex and h in in the present work are lower than 1. the average value of h ex was found to be 0.02 and 0.025 and average value of h in to be found 0.025 and 0.027 in wheat fields samples and corn samples in eilam provinces, respectively. the obtained values of agde are 30.49 msv/yr for wheat filed samples and 37.89 msv/yr for corn samples; the aede rate values are 5.28 msv/yr in wheat filed samples and this average value was found to be 6.13 msv/yr in corn samples in eilam. transfer factors (tfs) of long lived radionuclide such as (137) cs, (226) ra, (232) th and (40) k from soils to corn and wheat plants have been studied by radiotracer experiments.the natural radioactivity levels in eilam province are not at the range of high risk of morbidity and are under international standards.

Measurement of exposure to radionuclides (40-K, 226-Ra, and 232-Th) in the oil and gas drilling industry

Background: Naturally occurring radioactivity is a root cause of human exposure to harmful radiation. The occupational exposure hazard due to natural radionuclides occurring in drilling wastes is especially important in this regard. In this study the concentration of radionuclides namely 232Th, 226Ra and 40K were assessed in soil samples that were taken from various oil drilling areas. Methodol...

Measurement of 226Ra, 228Ra, 137Cs and 40K in edible parts of two types of leafy vegetables cultivated in Tehran province-Iran and resultant annual ingestion radiation dose

Background: The sources of radioactivity in the environment have natural, terrestrial and extraterrestrial, and anthropogenic origins. Plants may get radioactive nuclides in two ways: (i) by the deposition of radioactive fallout, (ii) by absorption from the soil. Materials and Methods: The Concentrations of the natural radionuclides (226Ra, 228Ra, 40K) and the artificial radionuclide (...
