The fundamental goal of this study is to measure the level radioactivity in soil area around Al-Hadbaa cement plant, also evaluate radiological hazard radionuclide, gamma-spectroscopy with an HPGe detector crystal diameter 70.6 mm and length 70 has been used estimate specific activity natural radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, artificial 137Cs fifteen samples collected. results show that average ...

BACKGROUND To identify the prognostic factors for survival in patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) who meet the serological domain of the IPAF criteria. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 99 IPAF patients who met the serological domain and were hospitalised at the Respiratory Medicine Unit of Kurashiki Central Hospital from 1999 to 2015. The high-resolution co...

This paper reports the results of a study performed for the Oregon Department of Energy. The objectives of the study were to characterize the range of radioactive material shipments through the state and to determine the worst radiological hazards which might arise if these shipments were involved in transportation accidents. The direct and indirect radiological hazards were analyzed for worst ...

Evaluation of Radiological Hazards associated with some selected mining sites (ie Gadaeragi (GR), Maiwayo (MW) and Kataeragi (KR)) in Niger State, Nigeria was carried out using Nal (TI) Gamma ray spectroscopy. The results shows average activity concentration for 238U, 232Th, 40K site are 8.05 ± 0.14 Bq/kg, 14.60 0.30 Bq/kg 20.62 14.62 respectively. result 232Th to be 12.03 0.17 17.89 0.32 151.1...

background: vegetation (food stuff) is grown in soil that contains many radioactive elements such as 238u (uranium), 232th (thorium) and 40k (potassium), which may get deposited either due to radioactive fallout or/and by absorption from the soil and can pose serious health hazards. materials and methods: natural radioactivity, radiological hazards and annual effective dose assessment was carri...

cesium content and some other more radiologically important mineral elements were measuredby nuclear and non-nuclear analytical methods in iranian daily diets.this study was extended to a few moresimilar functioning elements such as sr, rb, i, k, mg and ca as well. though the 137cs and otherradionuclieds were not measured in these diets under planned regular investigation in this work, but inco...

the activity concentration of gross alpha and gross beta particles in four samples of borehole drinking water consumed in ibrahim badamasi babangida university (ibbu), lapai, niger state-nigeria was measured, using a portable single channel gas free proportional counter (mpc2000b-dp) detector. this study focused on cancer related problems and the bio-data of the environment was discussed as wel...
