Thank you for reading environmental radioactivity from natural industrial and military sources. As you may know, people have look hundreds times for their chosen novels like this environmental radioactivity from natural industrial and military sources, but end up in malicious downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they are facing with some malicious bugs inside their laptop.

Environmental Radioactivity From Natural Industrial And Military Sources

The concentrations of natural and artificial radionuclides in soil samples collected from the different areas of Chittagong City Corporation were measured by using Gamma-ray Spectrometry of High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector.The concentration of 238U was found to be in the range 25.66 ± 5.48 Bq/Kg to 48.87 ± 6.00 Bq/Kg with an average value of 39.11 ± 5.77 Bq/Kg, the activity concentration of 232Th was found to be in the range of 27.12 ± 7.07Bq/Kg to 64.71 ± 7.95 Bq/Kg with an average value of 45.65 ± 7.48 Bq/Kg , and the activity concentration of 40K was found to be in the range of 293.81 ± 75.36 Bq/Kg to 637.49 ± 81.88 Bq/Kg with an average value of 430.56 ± 76.79 Bq/ Kg. The level of natural radioactivity in the region has been compared with the other areas of the world and the world average. In the soil samples, the overall activity concentration of Uranium and Potasium has been found to be higher than that of the world average, and the activity concentration of Thorium has been found to be nearly of the world average and the activity concentration. The artificial radionuclide 137Cs has not been detected in the samples.
