These rivers produce electricity and water for drinking and irrigation and provide sand for building construction. Uranium, thorium, and potassium are examples of naturally occurring radioactive elements that have been studied for Cauvery and Palar river soil. The radiation levels and possible human exposure were measured using specialized equipment. The annual radiation dose and the amount of radiation that the body absorbs both indoors and outdoors were other factors examined in the study. Several risk indicators were also evaluated to determine the possible health risks associated with this radiation. According to the study, most of radioactive levels in the rivers fall within the usual range compared to worldwide averages. It indicates that there is no substantial radioactive risk in the Cauvery River (except from site number 20). The radiation levels in site no. 6 of Palar River are three times higher than the global average, indicating a slight increase in radiation levels. Metals including copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, and iron were also examined. The correlations between these elements in the riverbeds with magnetic characteristics, radiation exposure levels, and possible dangers was also studied. The comprehension of the distribution of radiation and its relationship to other environmental factors was aided by this analysis.</p>","PeriodicalId":747,"journal":{"name":"Radiochemistry","volume":"66 5","pages":"752 - 763"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142798495","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}

Radon concentrations in water are an important source of water pollution. The water quality in seven Karbala sites in Iraq was evaluated using five parameters: temperature (<i>T</i>), total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and salinity (<i>S</i>). The ²²²Rn levels in the tap water samples were studied using a CR-39 detector. The concentrations of radon gas in the tap water samples were less than the accepted international limit of 11.1 Bq L^–1, and the annual effective dose was less than the required international value of 1 mSv year^–1. Therefore, the tap water used in all areas of the Karbala governorate is safe in terms of its ²²²Rn content. Water temperatures in Karbala City are below the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) standard limit of 15°C, except for the Northern Drainage (Al-Shariea Site), where the temperature is above the limit because of the different intended sampling and the hot Iraqi environment. The TDS difference measured in tap water is greater than the water level limit of 500 mg L^–1 set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and CCME, and the measured pH values were within the standard ranges, 6.5–8.5 and 6.5–9, defined by the WHO and CCME, respectively. All water samples had electrical conductivities above the WHO requirement of 1000 S cm^–1 but below the CCME standard of 1500 S cm^–1. The content of primary cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺) and heavy metals (zinc, copper, nickel, lead, and cadmium) was determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS),. Primary cations follow the order Na⁺ &gt; K⁺ &gt; Ca²⁺ &gt; Mg²⁺, and heavy metal ions, the order Zn²⁺ &gt; Pb²⁺ &gt; Cu²⁺ &gt; Cd²⁺ &gt; Ni²⁺.
