Abstract

Ionizing radiation emitted from radionuclides is present everywhere in the environment. It is the main source of health hazards to the general public. The present study elaborates on the analysis of primordial radionuclides in the collected soil samples from the Main Central Thrust (MCT) region of Uttarakhand Himalaya in a grid pattern. The naturally occurring radionuclides radium (226Ra), thorium (232Th) and potassium (40K) were analyzed using a thallium-doped sodium iodide detector-based gamma-ray spectrometer. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were found to vary from 9.82 ± 2.35 to 39.17 ± 5.50 Bq kg−1 (arithmetic mean 15.76 Bq kg−1), 15.09 ± 6.93 to 32.90 ± 7.80 Bq kg−1 (arithmetic mean 21.66 Bq kg−1), and 165.71 ± 43 to 417.16 ± 61.73 Bq kg−1 (arithmetic mean 320.30 Bq kg−1) respectively. The spatial distribution and radiation hazards of primordial radionuclides are discussed in the paper.

印度加尔瓦尔-喜马拉雅主要中央逆冲地区土壤样品中天然放射性核素的测量和健康风险评估
放射性核素释放的电离辐射在环境中无处不在。它是危害公众健康的主要来源。本研究详细阐述了从北阿坎德邦(Uttarakhand)喜马拉雅主要中央逆冲(MCT)地区收集的土壤样品中原始放射性核素的网格分析。自然存在的放射性核素镭(226Ra)、钍(232Th)和钾(40K)使用掺铊碘化钠探测器为基础的伽马射线光谱仪进行了分析。226Ra、232Th和40K的活性浓度分别为9.82±2.35 ~ 39.17±5.50 Bq kg−1(算术平均值15.76)、15.09±6.93 ~ 32.90±7.80 Bq kg−1(算术平均值21.66)和165.71±43 ~ 417.16±61.73 Bq kg−1(算术平均值320.30)。本文讨论了原初放射性核素的空间分布及其辐射危害。
