introduction in this study, effective dose equivalent for the public due to internal exposure to 222radon (222rn) was evaluated in three regions of ramsar, a northern coastal city in iran.                                materials and methods measurements were carried out using a radon monitoring device. outdoor and indoor radon concentrations were measured within 24 hours with an integration in...

all living organisms are exposed to ionizing radiation comprising cosmic rays coming from outer space, terrestrial nuclides occurring in the earth’s crust, building materials, air, water and foods and in the human body itself. the exposures are constant and uniform for all individuals everywhere including the dose from ingestion of 40k in food. cosmic rays are, more intense at higher altitudes,...

introduction: radioactive materials deliver internal radiation dose to patients in nuclear medicine. manual internal radiation dose assessment is a complicated method. introduction of a simple dose calculation software is the main goal of the present study. methods: using the best current data in internal dose calculation (s-factors) recommended by icrp and by considering other technical metho...

Introduction: The present study investigated the relatively high concentrations of natural radionuclides in raw material that used in ceramic manufacturing, and estimated the occupational exposure due to these activity concentrations. Material and Methods: A high-purity Germanium detector was used to determine naturally occurring radionuclide...

ABSTRACT Background: Monitoring internal exposure of individuals handling significant amounts of iodine-125 (I-125) for iodination is of great importance. These individuals are potentially exposed to external contamination, and internal contamination through inhalation, ingestion and intact skin absorption, to I-125. Considering radiological toxicity of this radionuclide its monitoring in the w...

background solvents such as benzene and toluene are commonly used in tire manufacturing, and significant occupational exposure to these chemicals adversely affects the health of workers. in biological monitoring, a complementary method for personal monitoring, the internal absorbed dose is measured and individual, environmental, and exposure differences are taken into consideration. conclusions...
