Assessment of soil radioactivity and associated health risks in the Haripur gas field, Bangladesh.
Assessing soil radioactivity and associated risks in areas surrounding gas fields is essential due to potential natural radionuclide accumulation during extraction activities. This study investigates the radioactivity levels in surface soil from the Haripur gas field. 21 soil samples were analyzed using a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in the soil samples were found to range between 11-19, 20-38, and 280-500 Bq kg-1, respectively. All 226Ra values and the majority of 232Th and 40K values fell within the global average levels for soil, which are 35, 30, and 400 Bq kg-1, respectively. Radiation hazard indices were found to be below the internationally accepted safety limits set by organizations such as the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), indicating that the soil poses no significant radiological risks for construction and agricultural applications. This research offers essential baseline data on soil radioactivity at the Haripur gas field, supporting public health, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance efforts.
期刊介绍：
Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies provides a unique platform for stable isotope studies in geological and life sciences, with emphasis on ecology. The international journal publishes original research papers, review articles, short communications, and book reviews relating to the following topics:
-variations in natural isotope abundance (isotope ecology, isotope biochemistry, isotope hydrology, isotope geology)
-stable isotope tracer techniques to follow the fate of certain substances in soil, water, plants, animals and in the human body
-isotope effects and tracer theory linked with mathematical modelling
-isotope measurement methods and equipment with respect to environmental and health research
-diagnostic stable isotope application in medicine and in health studies
-environmental sources of ionizing radiation and its effects on all living matter
