according to the report published by the united nations scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation (unscear) in 2000, ramsar city in northern iran, has some inhabited areas with the highest known natural background radiation levels in the world (1). the annual radiation absorbed dose in high background radiation areas (hbras) of ramsar is extraordinary high, reaching 260 msv that i...

تأثیر پرتوگیری مزمن بر ساکنین مناطق با پرتوزایی طبیعی بالا در شهر رامسر، استفاده از روش سیتوژنتیک سنجش هستک­های متوقف شده مرحله سیتوکینز و مقایسه­ی نتایج میان دو گروه مورد مطالعه کنترل، بررسی قرار گرفت. نشان داد اختلاف معنی­داری (001/0< P) میانگین فرکانس شمارش لنفوسیت­های خون محیطی (ساکن منطقه­ی بالای رامسر) کنترل تنکابن) وجود دارد. هم­چنین، بعد پرتودهی نمونه­ها، افزایش بیش­تری را هستک­ها نسبت ...

background: in some areas of ramsar, a city in northern iran, residents receive a much higher annual radiation exposure than is permitted for radiation workers. induction of adaptive response in residents of ramsar has been reported previously. in this study induction of such a response in short term exposure to high background levels of gamma radiation is investigated. materials and methods: f...

Background: The effect of natural background radiation on health is still controversial. However, it is clear that it depends on the dose received by the population. The estimation of external natural background gamma rays received by the population of Caspian coastal provinces in the northern part of Iran was the main goal of this study. Materials and Methods: Gamma rays was measured ...

Introduction The exposure of human beings to ionizing radiation from natural sources is a continuing and inescapable feature of life on earth. For most individuals, this exposure exceeds that from all man-made sources combined. Materials and Methods In this study, the annual effective dose in high level environmental background radiation areas (HLEBRAs) of northern city of Ramsar in Iran was de...

today, nuclear medicine has rapidly been developed so that in some cases, plays a unique role in diagnosis but unfortunalty in spite of diagnostic and therapeutic advantages, the term “nuclear” can induce worries in patients and society. in this article, base on new documents, we intend to show that this worries has no scientific basis. to produce a realistic view, regarding to radiation protec...

the existence of a high natural radiation area in the northern part of iran (ramsar) is proved. ra 226 in soil is measured. the results are: minimum 23.5 pci/g and maximum 999 pci/g soil. environmental radioactivity is from 0.1 to 5 mr/h.
