Abstract:

This study aimed to minimize radiation risk in Solok Selatan by analyzing active concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K, calculating excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) from annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE). Soil samples from seven sites in the Solok Selatan, 0 – 5 cm deep, were tested with a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. 232Th concentrations exceeded the established global standard of 30 Bq/kg. In addition, the study included the determination of Radium Equivalent (Raeq), absorbed gamma dose rate (D), AEDE, and ELCR. Annual effective dose ranged from 68.33 to 19.92 μSv/y, belo

Abstract Introduction The compensation criteria for lung cancer in Asbestos Damage Relief Act (ADRA) in Korea mainly rely on the presence of radiologic findings of asbestosis or pleural plaque. Although exposure criteria with asbestos fiber concentration in lung tissue is supplementary, it has not been applied. Because only 30% of asbestos related lung cancer has asbestosis or pleural plaque, substantial lung cancers might not be compensated by ADRA. Exposure criteria for lung cancer need to be applied in ADRA. Methods Data of 1,784 lung cancer compensation applicants during 2011-2021 were ana

Abstract Natural radiation is a feature of the environment in which we live. One of the contributions of human exposure to ionizing radiation due to natural sources arises from gamma radiation. Therefore, present study was aimed to evaluate and map indoor gamma dose rate in Tehran. The corresponding annual effective dose (AED) and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) were also calculated. All measurements were performed by a Geiger Muller detector in 43 dwellings in Tehran. The average indoor gamma dose rate in Tehran was appointed as 343.2 nGy/h.

Abstract:

Human exposure to ionizing radiation from natural and artificial sources is an unpreventable phenomenon on Earth. Radiation profile and dose rate for some markets in northern Cross River State, Nigeria have been ascertained using a 451p ion chamber survey meter, and the following parameters of radiation were calculated, absorb dose, annual effective dose equivalent, and excess life cancer risk. The dose rates measured within five major markets are as follows; Obanliku, 0.07μsv/h to 0.18μsv/h, Obudu, 0.03μsv/h to 0.17μsv/h, Bekwara, 0.06μsv/h to 0.78μsv/h Ogoja, market 0.05&mu

The Real-time outdoor environmental gamma radiation (RTOEGR) dose rates were monitored at New Market Thana in Dhaka city to generate a baseline database that would help to know any deviation after operation of Rooppur NPP. The RTOEGR monitoring was carried out using a digital portable radiation monitoring device (DPRMD). The RTOEGR dose rates at the area of New Market Thana were ranged from 0.103 ± 0.004 µSv/h to 0.168 ± 0.007 µSv/h with an average of 0.135 ± 0.004 µSv/h. The public's annual effective doses were calculated based on RTOEGR dose rates, and those were varied from 0.181 ± 0.007 mS

Abstract:

Groundwater remains the largest source of potable water in Damaturu town. The study of gross radioactivity and its associated hazard risks in potable water is crucial to the health and well-being of the populace of the study area. Thus, radiological hazard indices such as annual effective dose, excess lifetime cancer risk, lifetime hereditary effect, and lifetime fatality cancer risk due to gross alpha and beta radiation from fifteen samples of borehole water have been evaluated. The mean values obtained from the analyses are 2531.48E–5 mSvy–1 & 5637.92E–5 for AED, 12.18E–5 & 23.26E–5
