[ 1 ] - The Impact of Low-level Exposure to Radiation in Natural Ecosystems of Najaf and Dhi Qar Cities, Iraq
Introduction: This study investigated the exposure rates of background radiations in selected locations of Najaf and Dhi Qar cities, Iraq. Materials and Methods: Exposure rates were quantified using a portable Geiger–Müller meter. Frequent readings of gamma dose rates were recorded (82 and 101 nGy h-1). Results: The lowest absorbed doserate was found to be 43.5±17.4 nGyh-1 in Najaf (outdoor e...
[ 2 ] - Determination of Radionuclide Concentration in Human Teeth in Najaf Governorate, Iraq
Introduction: 238U decays with alpha particles emission into 234Th and the series ends with 206Pb. The unstable nucleus loses the energy with emitting ionizing alpha particles for reaching a stable state. It is undergoing alpha decay with decay energy (4.679 MeV). Alpha particles enter the human and animal bodies through inhalation of air or ingestion of contaminated food and water. This study ...
[ 3 ] - Radionuclides and heavy elements in a water deposits of Reverse Osmosis system filters in Iraqi houses
Introduction: In this study, we investigated contaminants in sediments of reverse osmosis water systems in Iraqi households. These filters are imported from the US and Taiwan and are available in the Iraqi market. The rate of environmental pollutions in residues of the water filters was examined by measuring alpha particles emission rates and the concentration of heavy metals. Material and Met...
[ 4 ] - Determination of Alpha Particles and Heavy Metals Contamination in Meat Samples in Najaf, Iraq
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of alpha particles and heavy metals contamination in the meat products consumed in Najaf, Iraq. Moreover, this study was also targeted toward comparing the results with those in the literature and making appropriate conclusion and recommendations. Material and Methods: This study determined the track of alpha particles and ...
