Abstract

The study evaluated the presence of anthropogenic and natural radionuclides in wheat samples close to nuclear facilities of Dera Ghazi Khan by using gamma ray spectrometry. The average activity concentrations of ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K found to be 1.60, 2.41 and 108.22 Bq/kg, respectively. The estimated average values for the internal hazard index, radium equivalent, radiological doses and cancer risk factor were found to be within acceptable ranges. The study discovered no substantial health concerns from consuming edible grains because their concentrations were within the permissible limits established by UNSCEAR.

评估德拉加齐汗核设施附近小麦样品中天然和人为放射性核素的辐射剂量和健康风险

该研究利用伽马射线能谱法评估了德拉加齐汗核设施附近小麦样品中人为和天然放射性核素的存在。226Ra、232Th和40K的平均活性浓度分别为1.60、2.41和108.22 Bq/kg。内部危害指数、镭当量、放射剂量和癌症风险因素的估计平均值均在可接受的范围内。研究发现食用谷物没有实质性的健康问题，因为它们的浓度在联合国科委会规定的允许范围内。图形抽象
