Human activities such as waste disposal tend to impact negatively on the environment. Some products are associated with elevated levels of natural radioactivity. It was therefore, aim study investigate health risk radioactivity from Okakarara municipal dumpsite. In this study, gamma spectrometric analysis used determine activity concentrations 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in 18 soil samples. From these...

The specific activity and spatial distribution of 238U, 232Th 40K were determined in the surface soil from Lișava uranium mining sector. This sector belongs to Banat district, an historically important area Romania (an with closed mines a radioactive waste dump). Gamma-ray spectrometry using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector was used measure naturally occurring radionuclides soil. average a...

The presence of heavy radioactive minerals in the studied granitoids from which Wadi sediments leads to study exposure emitted gamma rays terrestrial radionuclides, such as 238U, 232Th, and 40K. geological revealed that derived surrounding granitoids, syenogranite, alkali feldspar granite, quartz syenite. mineral analysis confirmed were enriched with minerals, uranothorite well monazite, zircon...

The radioactivity associated with artisanal and small-scale gold mining activities (ASM) carried out along the Ulindi River, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, was evaluated by gamma-ray spectrometry inductively coupled plasma–mass soil sediment samples. results revealed that activity concentrations 238U (up to 3127 ± 98 Bq kg?1), 226Ra 2710 89 kg?1) 232Th 2142 162 were 71- 89-fold higher...

In the present paper, an investigation on natural and anthropic radioactivity heavy metals content in a basalt aggregate for concrete from Sicily, Southern Italy, was performed as case study. particular, evaluation of specific activity radium-226, thorium-232, potassium-40 caesium-137 radionuclides by using High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) γ-ray spectrometry, together with estimation several indexe...

Introduction Foodstuffs are known to contain natural and artificial radionuclides. Determination of radionuclide concentration is of great significance for the protection of human health. The main objective of the present study was the quantification of radionuclides in tea samples, cultivated in Guilan Province in North of Iran. Materials and Methods The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th...

The research aims to evaluate the radioactivity of samples foodstuffs Consumables in local markets thirteen items were selected which are rice, tea, drinking water, lentils, chickpeas, flour, red bean, crushed chickpeas and milk powder where concentrations specific activity chains uranium (238U), thorium (232Th) potassium (40K) measured using a gamma ray spectra analysis system with high purity...

A long list of row materials are brought from the desert and invested in feeding of many industries. The investigation of radionuclides distribution and radiation levels of such materials is important to assess the potential hazard of radiation exposure for those working in such industries. In this work the high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopic system was used to measure the radionuclides con...

The concept of radiological sustainability has been reviewed using the possibility reutilization NORMs regarding 2050 sustainable development concepts. This study is reviewing capability re-production NORM residues based on their properties and applicable treatment before reutilization. Linking waste producers construction materials industry as mineral end-users could contribute to creation ind...
