Background: Radiation is a radiation dose rate at a specified location which is generated by any combination of natural and artificial (man-made) ionizing radiation sources. Background radiation varies with location and time. The global average exposure of humans to ionizing radiation is about 2.4 -3mSv (0.0024-0.003Sv) per year. Objective: To detect, and calculate the total cumulative dose of radiation exposure in the center of the store and outside by moving the detector " portable PalmRAD" away from a source. Patients and Methods: By using portable PalmRAD 907 Nuclear Radiation Meter to detect, and calculate the total cumulative dose of radiation exposure in the center of the store and outside by moving the detector " portable PalmRAD" away from a source. the study was conducted in 2015, the first of March up until June. Results: The findings indicate that approximately 100% of students, academic staff or public in general are exposed to radiation near the store`s window (3.5 m from the store center), and the estimated total cumulative dose of radiation exposure exceeded (13 µ Sv / day) and compare this finding with the standards level of radioactive substances, "Cs137" is (8.333 µ Sv / day) or (3000 µ Sv / year) [5, 18]. It is concluded that there is a risk to any low level radionuclide exposure. Conclusion:Low-level radiation can cause many health problems; even any level of radiation can be dangerous. There is always a bad effect of natural background radiation on DNA as well as several measures of health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
