Radon is naturally released from the soil into the surface layer of the atmosphere, and by monitoring the natural radioactivity data of radon and its shot-live decay products we can get valuable information about the dilution properties of the lower boundary layer. This paper explores the dispersion characteristics of the lower layer of the atmosphere in Lanzhou, China, and the close relationsh...

A mobile γ–ray spectrometer ( AMESOS ) has been developed using a 3”×3” NaI(Tl) detector, custom–made mounting holder, and portable electronics to perform in situ measurements of radioactivity. The was calibrated standard point sources its absolute efficiency determined. As field test operation, deployed on the premises University Athens Zografou campus focusing estimating NORM levels. Data wer...

background: health hazards associated with exposure due to the natural radioactivity which is a part of our physical environment are of great concern. in order to assess the risks associated with exposure due to the natural radioactivity in soil and building materials, extensive studies have been carried out all over the world. the most commonly encountered radionuclide’s are 238u, 232th, their...

ntroduction: The purpose of this study was to measure the radioactivity in the agricultural soil of south-east of Shazand Refinery Complex to determine both reliable baseline data on the radiation level and the radiation dose exposure to the farmers and inhabitants of the studied area. Material and Methods: This study was conducted on 21 soil...
