وصف الابستركت (Abstract)
Introduction: Radioactive material is always present in the environment, and the largest contribution to the inhalation exposure comes from the short half-life decay products of radon. Accordingly, the concentrations of radon were measured in the milk and tea samples collected from Misan markets in Iraq. Material and Methods: A total of 20 samples were taken to the laboratory in the School of Physics for sample preparation and then determined using LR-115 detector
الوصف الكامل (Full Abstract)
The concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides in sustenance is changed generally due to contrasting foundation levels, atmosphere, and agricultural conditions that prevail. The largest contribution to the inhalation exposure comes from the short half-life decay products of radon (222Rn) [1]. The 222Rn is a naturally occurring colorless, odorless, tasteless inert gas, which is indistinct to the human s sense. It is delivered persistently from the rot of normally happening radionuclides, such as Uranium- 238 (238U), Uranium-235(235U), and Thorium- 232(232Th). Uranium is a naturally occurring component present in practically all minerals, sand, vegetables, and soil. The isotope of 222Rn, delivered from the decay of 238U, is the principal source (roughly 55%) of inside radiation presentation to human life [2, 3]. Radon gas escapes easily from the ground into the air and disintegrates through short-lived decay products called radon daughter or radon progeny. It has a half-life of 3.82 days and decays by alpha ejection, and the alphas energy is 5.5 MeV [1-4]. There are a few essential pathways for the transfer of radionuclides to eating routine of people. The mainly ways of radon to causes the dose through food, water and medicine. Due to their quality in soil and phosphate composts, primordial radionuclides and their progeny are transferred by the food chain to the human body [5]. It is important to measure the radionuclide substance of food and water samples to evaluate potential radiation doses and assess the consumers exposed to radiation. The most imperative and overwhelming supporters of the inward breathing portion are the decay results of radon. Radon and its decay items that are noticeable all around structure the primary common sources of irradiation in human. Radon concentrations are higher indoors, yet there is also a considerable focus outside. Other than influencing general society, it is in charge of numerous malignant growths passing among uranium diggers [1]. The estimations of natural radioactivity in ecological components have been conducted in various nations to build up standard information from the natural radiation levels [3-9]. The objective of this study was to measure the radon concentrations in the milk and tea samples collected from Misan markets in Iraq.
