Abstract

The fundamental goal of the current study is to determine the mean activity concentrations of natural and artificial radionuclides of 226 Ra, 232 Th, 40 K, and 137 Cs using gamma spectrometry for three locations, in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, which are significant and vital countries in the Middle East. The mean absorbed dose rate equals 22.35, 28.96, and 43.34 nGy h -1 for Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. The results are consistent with international reports. The dose contribution percentages for investigated locations are 24 %, 30 %, and 46 % for Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, respectively. The obtained results were clarified by statistical measurements using one-way ANOVA test to determine the distribution and differences between the averages of the three groups under study, as they may be influenced by geological variations and human intervention. It was found that the Iraq samples followed a symmetrical, standard normal distribution, while samples from Egypt and Saudi Arabia did not. Statistically significant differences were found between the data from the three countries.

应用软件分析的伽玛光谱法测定不同位置土壤样品中放射性核素分布图

当前研究的基本目标是使用伽马能谱法确定埃及、沙特阿拉伯和伊拉克三个地点226 Ra、232 Th、40 K和137 Cs的天然和人工放射性核素的平均活性浓度，这三个地点是中东的重要和重要国家。埃及、沙特阿拉伯和伊拉克的平均吸收剂量率分别为22.35、28.96和43.34 nGy h-1。结果与国际报告一致。埃及、沙特阿拉伯和伊拉克调查地点的剂量贡献百分比分别为24%、30%和46%。所获得的结果通过使用单因素方差分析检验的统计测量来澄清，以确定所研究的三组平均值之间的分布和差异，因为它们可能受到地质变化和人类干预的影响。研究发现，伊拉克的样本遵循对称的标准正态分布，而埃及和沙特阿拉伯的样本则没有。这三个国家的数据在统计上存在显著差异。
