Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang penentuan aktivitas spesifik radionuklida alam pada sumber air panas di Nagari Pariangan Sumatera Barat. Tujuan ini untuk mengetahui 222Rn, 226Ra,232Th dan 40K. Penelitian menggunakan sampel yang diambil dari tiga berbeda. Aktivitas diukur dua alat yaitu Durridge Rad7 Radon Detector dengan protokol WAT250 222Rn spektrometer gamma Hasil diperoleh berdasarkan pe...

Doğada yaşayan tüm canlılar sürekli olarak doğal ve yapay radyasyon kaynaklarından yayınlanan iyonlaştırıcı radyasyona maruz kalmaktadır. Bu nedenle, yaşam alanları ziyaret edilen bölgelerde radyoaktivite düzeylerinin belirlenmesi önemlidir. çalışmada, Rize ili İkizdere ilçesine bağlı İkizdere-İspir karayolu üzerinde bulunan Ovit Dağbaşı Gölünden alınan su örneklerinde 226Ra, 232Th 40K konsantr...

Since 2020 a large consortium has been engaged in the project EMPIR 19ENV01 traceRadon to develop missing traceability chains improve sensor networks climate observation and radiation protection. This paper presents results areas of: Novel 226Ra standard sources with continuous controlled 222Rn emanation rate, radon chambers aimed create reference atmosphere field for flux monitoring. The major...

A study on natural radioactivity in virgin and agricultural soil samples collected from Sungai Petani was conducted using high-purity germanium. The mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in virgin soils were 51.06±5.83, 78.44±6.42, and 125.66±7.26 Bq kg−1, respectively, while those in agricultural soils were 80.63±5.78, 116.87±7.87, and 200.66±18.24 Bq kg−1, respectively. The co...

Background: This study consists of two parts. The first part deals with both qualitative and quantitative analysis of 226Ra using alpha spectrometry measurement method. In the second part, the percentage of radioactive equilibrium between 226 Ra and its daughter products were determined by alpha spectrometry and total alpha measurement system after elapsed time of 15 days from precipitation. Ma...

Background: Radium-226 (226Ra) is a product of the 238U radionuclide decay series that significantly incorporated into the human body through water intake. It can also potentially cause a series of health problems including cancers of the digestive system.

A recent epidemiological survey on childhood malignant disease in the region of Ellweiler, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, revealed a significantly increased incidence of childhood leukemia, but observed incidences of lymphoma and solid tumors were normal. Established risk factors such as individual exposure to chemicals as well as hereditary genetic disorders were ruled out in interviews with the pa...

Background: Knowledge of radioactivity levels in human diet is of particular concern for the estimation of possible radiological hazards to human health. However, very few surveys of radioactivity in food have been conducted in Iran therefore the baseline values of the natural radionuclides concentration (40K, 226Ra and 232Th), and man made radionuclide, 137Cs, were determined in twenty six...
