Abstract:
| Eating various meals exposes humans to a certain degree of radiation because natural radioactivity is always present in diet. Measuring the uranium activity and radon in a selected foods manufactured in the Bashiqa Region is the focus of this investigation using CR-39 detector. The findings demonstrated that the uranium activity concentration ranged from 0.9 to 2.56 Bq kg−1. The radon concentration ranges from 54.8 to 99.3 Bq m−3. The results indicated that all radon concentrations were significantly lower than of 400 Bq m−3 the worldwide standard radon recommended concentration by the (ICRP) international commission on radiological protection. According to this research, food items are safe from uranium and radon pollution.” |
