The aim of the present study is to measure activity concentrations 226Ra, 222Rn, mass exhalation rate and annual effective dose radon in marble samples collected from Al-Bayda city local market –Libya. Samples were measured by using a low-background NaI (Tl) detector. average 226Ra 222Rn 72.57 Bq.kg-1 597.85 Bq.m-3.The vary 0.05-0.30 Bq.kg-1.S-1 with an 0.13 Bq.kg-1.S-1. was calculated under in...

In this study, we evaluated the activity concentration of natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) for fifteen (15) different brands of tile samples used for building purposes in Nigeria. The tile samples were analyzed using High purity Germanium gamma detector. The mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were observed to be 61.1 ± 5.5 Bq/kg, 70.2 ± 6.08 Bq/kg and 514.7 ± 59.8...

Measurements of 238U, 232Th, and 40K activity concentrations in some commonly used medicinal plant parts have been performed for radiation hazard assessment as baseline data health risk monitoring South Africa other countries. The mean was found to be 43.3 Bqkg-1, 33.7 180 Bqkg-1 Sclerocarya birrea; 85.0 75.3 316.7 Cymbopogon citratus; 47.3 37.0 773.3 Neorautanenia ficifolia; 25.7 30.0 510 Kige...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the associations between 30-day mortality and various radiological and clinical factors in patients with traumatic acute subdural hematoma (SDH). During the 11-year study period, young patients who underwent surgery for SDH were followed for 30 days. Patients who died due to other medical comorbidities or other organ problems were not included ...

Background: This study aimed to investigate the radiation hazard indices from sand samples of Ma’rib Governorate in Yemen, where majority oil and gas facilities are installed. Methods Materials: Thirty five desert Yemen were collected tested their by using High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector. Results: Based on measurement concentrations 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, radium equivalent activity (Raeq), co...

The Chernobyl accident caused artificial radioactive contamination, especially 137Cs radionuclide contamination. Due to having long half-life, still continues remain in soils. In the present study, surface soil samples were collected from various locations Bulgaria-Turkey border. activity concentrations of determined. order investigate radiological hazard; dose rates and annual effective estima...

Radioactivity in Granites of Pakistan systematically increases from south to north. The Ambella Granite found at the northern edge is highly radioactive. measurements made on, so called, Bajaur Granite, located Pakistan, have been be lowest among all granitic rock area. In order find out exact nature rocks, mineralogical studies were carried on chips and powdered samples. Norite contains plagio...

the territory of serbia is vulnerable to various types of natural hazards and the risk is not equal across the entire territory; it varies depending on the type of hazard and the expected potential for damage. the first aim of this research was to determine the geographical distributions of the major types of natural hazards. seismic hazards, landslides, rock falls, floods, torrential floods...
