Abstract An extensive study concerning the terrestrial gamma dose rates of surface soils from Canaanland entrance Road, Ota to Eleha Complex along Idiroko has been carried out cover road running across both areas. The In-situ measurements and radionuclides were using Gamma detector (Super Spec RS 125). result shows that average outdoor rate in area is 73.57 nGyh −1 . values obtained 32.9 Bq/kg ...

background: turkey, especially the northern part of it, was one of the countries which were contaminated by the chernobyl accident.  rize is a city located in the northeastern district of turkey which was heavily influenced by the chernobyl nuclear accident. materials and methods: in this study, the activity concentrations of natural (226ra, 232th, 40k) and artificial (137cs) were measurements ...

The existence of a Coal - Fired Power Plant (CFPP) is suspected to affect the environment quality, especially increment natural radionuclides content which found in coal as raw material. Therefore, systematic analysis ( 210 Pb, 234 Th, 238 U, 228 RA, 40 K, 226 RA and 232 Th) water, soil , plant were conducted establish data base o f environmental contamination area around CFPP. This research wa...

This study aims to assess dermal and inhalation lead exposure levels among batik industry workers evaluate noncarcinogenic carcinogenic health risks associated with exposure. We investigate potential relationships between (dermal average daily dose concentration) the workers' blood hemoglobin (Hb), as well their urinary ALA (u-ALA) concentrations. Additionally, we explore any possible associati...

Background: Consumers may be contaminated by various food intakes as one of the most important sources of organic and inorganic pollutants associated with agriculture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and nitrate contaminations in watermelon and carrot samples and the associated risks to human health. Methods: In this cross sectional study, 108 samples of wat...

Background: Turkey, especially the northern part of it, was one of the countries which were contaminated by the Chernobyl accident.  Rize is a city located in the Northeastern district of Turkey which was heavily influenced by the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Materials and Methods: In this study, the activity concentrations of natural (226Ra, 232Th, 40K) and artificial (137Cs) were measurem...

Background: One of the main sources of exposure to radiation is terrestrial radionuclides in the environment. These radioisotopes are present in the Earthchr('39')s crust and can be increased by human activity such as mining of coal, oil, and minerals. Materials and Methods: In this study, 39 soil samples including virgin and cultivated were collected from around of the Shazand Refinery Complex...

Introduction: Although travertine is now widely used as a building material, the effects of its radiological hazards to public health should be a matter of concern. Therefore, this study aimed to determine its radiological parameters with regard to human health. Material and Methods: In this research 10 travertine samples were collected ...

Background: The annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) due to ionizing radiation in a coaster area in Nigerian has been determined using Geiger-Muller counter. Materials and Methods: isolevels in the study area were represented by using the kriging interpolation technique on ArcGIS 10.1 software. Duncan multiple range test was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Res...

background: human activities such as mining enhance the radioactivity levels above normal background which can lead to an incremental increase in the radiation risk to the population. materials and methods: 20 tailing enriched soil samples collected around maiganga coal mine, gombe, northeast nigeria were assessed for their 226ra, 232th and 40k contents using hpge gamma-ray detector. results: t...
