LED fluorimetry was used to measure uranium concentration, while multi-parameter kits were used to evaluate the geochemical parameters. The mean uranium concentration was 14.0 ± 11.4 μgL−1 in the premonsoon period and 16.3 ± 13.2 μgL−1 in the postmonsoon period, which was found to be within the limit of 30 μgL−1, as recommended by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS, 2021). Geochemical parameters such as pH, conductivity, total dissolved solid (TDS), oxidation reduction potential, dissolved oxygen, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, hardness, and alkalinity ranged from 7.1–9.4, 226–4540 μScm−1, 125–2630 ppm, 149–287 mV, 9.1–11.4 ppm, 14–690 ppm, 0.1–2.2 ppm, 12–181 ppm, 135–990 ppm, and 129–1266 ppm, respectively. TDS, hardness, alkalinity, and nitrate were observed to be higher than the BIS limit at some locations. Maximum geochemical parameters were within the guidance limit for drinking water (BIS, 2012) excluding nitrate. The distribution of geochemical parameters and uranium content were vastly heterogeneous, signifying the influence of regional lithology and geochemistry.","PeriodicalId":32488,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Protection and Environment","volume":"46 1","pages":"25 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43045675","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}

The major health hazards include cold burns, asphyxiation, hot burns, and major safety hazards are explosion, fire, and equipment failure. Risk assessment consistent with material safety data sheet and hazard analysis is essential to assess the potential dangers while using cryogenic materials. Safe handling of cryogenic materials in nuclear and radiological facilities requires special considerations to ensure the protection of personnel and the environment. Administrative measures such as access control, training, checklists, and engineering controls such as ventilation, gas detection systems, and purging techniques are applied to deal with cryogenic hazards. Many personal proactive equipments are available to protect users from cryogenic hazards. While some protective measures for cryogenic hazards could suffice for low radioactivity laboratories, additional personal protective equipments are required to protect workers from radiation exposure in workplaces with potentially significant radiation hazards. The formulation of preparedness plans for emergencies resulting from cryogenic hazards should essentially take into account the unique constraints and requirements of radiological facilities. Simultaneous occurrence of radiological and cryogenic emergencies presents complex challenges requiring special mitigative measures.","PeriodicalId":32488,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Protection and Environment","volume":"46 1","pages":"40 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46207067","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}

Currently, this exposure has been increasing since people spend more than their time indoors. In this study, 16 cement samples collected from Abidjan district were analyzed using a high-resolution high-purity germanium gamma spectrometry. Activity concentrations of primordial radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were found with mean specific activities of 9.95 ± 1.94 Bq/kg, 21.81 ± 3.2 Bq/kg, and 196.50 ± 4.5 Bq/kg, respectively. The obtained data were below world average values of 35, 30, and 400 Bq/kg. Radiological parameters such as radium equivalent activity, absorbed dose rate (D), and annual effective dose were calculated and compared to the worldwide average values. Further, statistical analyses were performed and discussed for the resulted data. The estimated radiological indices were below the recommended levels; therefore, the study shows that the measured radioactivity for cement does not pose a significant source of radiation and is safe for use in the construction of dwellings. The data from this study can be used as a reference for future studies on building materials in Côte d'Ivoire and by other researchers around the world.","PeriodicalId":32488,"journal":{"name":"Radiation Protection and Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136217029","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}
