Ten samples were collected from different the area under study in Baghdad. The measurements have been done using spectral analysis technique for gamma-ray By using scintillation detector system NaI(Tl) gamma spectroscopy with 3\"×3\". The results show that, specific activity in soil samples under study were ranged from 21.45±0.33 Bq/kg to 96786.84±41.84 Bq/kg with an average 10039.63 Bq/kg. Soil samples are not safe to work in and does constitute a danger or hazard to the citizens.","PeriodicalId":245075,"journal":{"name":"Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 9","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114322319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In two times of the study, we made fill out several questionnaires concerning various variables. \u0000Results: Our main findings suggest that the majority of the participants did not have a new cancer recurrence and that the implementation of a fighting strategy is representative of them. Our linear regressions and average comparisons enabled us several relations about to different categories of disease. \u0000Conclusion: Supportive therapies and stress management programmes would be beneficial for cancer patients who have had a recurrence.","PeriodicalId":245075,"journal":{"name":"Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 9","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132461546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
