Determination the Natural Radiation Activity in Female Human Urine Samples in Kirkuk City by Using Two Technique Rad7 and CR-39 Detector
Keywords:
Radon gas, Rad7, CR-39, cancer, Alpha decay, urineAbstract
Background: The basic components of the environment, such as air, water, and soil, typically contain radioactive materials in naturally occurring circulation. Typically, a variety of techniques are used to convey radioactive materials to people, animals, and plants. The residence time of radioactive elements in the environment and the transit of these elements to the human body are both affected by the carriers' various physical and chemical properties
Materials and methods: In this current work, radon concentration in cancer-sick urine samples in Kirkuk was measured using a Rad-7and CR-39. CR-39 detector 400 μm thick and area (1 × 1) cm2 . Chemical editing of the alpha particle traces was captured using the CR-39 track detector. "Alpha rays" or "alpha radiation" coming from the radon listed in the models. This study was conducted on 60 urine samples from people of different ages (between 22 and 80 years old), all of whom had cancer problems.
Results: The result showed that the highest radon concentration using a detector Rad7 (3240Bq/m3) Average concentration (1492.07 Bq/m3) and radon concentration when using CR-39 detector (3066 Bq/m3), average radon concentration (1404.13 Bq/m3), concentration uranium (9.77ppm), radioactivity (0.093Bq) and highest annual impact dose (81.74mSv/y). In addition, the results showed that the concentration of radon gas. Concentration uranium was varied from person to another, depending on the allergy of that person to the radiation. Conclusion: There is evidence of health problems and evidence of the relationship between radiation and cancer. In general, the obtained results were above than of the normal levels.
