Abstract

The present study discusses the hazards of airborne radionuclides pollution in Assiut City, Egypt. The total suspended particles (TSP) samples were collected from six sites selected based on anthropogenic activities. The concentrations of the detected radionuclides in TSP (43 mBq m⁻³ and 12 mBq m⁻³ for ²³⁸U series and ²³²Th series, respectively) were higher than the world average values. The annual effective doses (by inhalation) are 100 times the world average dose of airborne radionuclides. The findings from the present study are regarded as a baseline level and may be applied to future assessments of radiation exposure levels in the area.

埃及阿西尤特市总悬浮粒子中放射性核素活性的实验评估

本研究讨论了埃及阿西尤特市空气中放射性核素污染的危害。总悬浮粒子（TSP）样本采集于基于人为活动选择的6个站点。TSP中检测到的放射性核素浓度（238U系列和232Th系列分别为43 mBq m−3和12 mBq m−3）高于世界平均水平。年有效剂量（吸入）是世界空气传播放射性核素平均剂量的100倍。本研究的结果被视为基线水平，并可应用于未来对该地区辐射照射水平的评估。
