Abstract

In this study, the concentration of radon in water has been measured for 17 samples from different regions of Al-Kifl in the province of Babylon, Iraq. This study was performed using the electronic radon detector RADH2O, where the highest value was 0.199 Bq.L−1 and the lowest value was 0.0 Bq.L−1 and the effective dose for human exposure to radon average is 5.09*10−7 Sv.y−1. The results of radon concentrations and annual effective dose in all samples show no significant radiological risk for the inhabitants in the region of study. We have chosen this subject for the current study because of the importance of water in human life and living, and the lack of previous studies in this study area.

伊拉克希拉市不同地区饮用水样品中氡的估计浓度

在这项研究中，对来自伊拉克巴比伦省Al-Kifl不同地区的17个样品的水中氡浓度进行了测量。本研究使用电子氡探测器RADH2O进行，其最高值为0.199 Bq。L−1，最小值为0.0 Bq。L−1，人体暴露于氡的有效剂量平均为5.09*10−7 Sv.y−1。所有样本的氡浓度和年有效剂量结果显示，对研究区域的居民没有显著的辐射风险。由于水在人类生活和生活中的重要性，以及以往在这一研究领域的研究不足，我们选择了这个主题作为当前的研究。

期刊介绍： Today, nuclear reactors generate nearly one quarter of the electricity in nations representing two thirds of humanity, and other nuclear applications are integral to many aspects of the world economy. Nuclear fission remains an important option for meeting energy requirements and maintaining a balanced worldwide energy policy; with major countries expanding nuclear energy"s role and new countries poised to introduce it, the key issue is not whether the use of nuclear technology will grow worldwide, even if public opinion concerning safety, the economics of nuclear power, and waste disposal issues adversely affect the general acceptance of nuclear power, but whether it will grow fast enough to make a decisive contribution to the global imperative of sustainable development.
