Determining of radioactivity and the accompanying radiological hazards in the sediments of the Euphrates River and wells in Babylon governorate – Iraq

Abstract: The radioactivity and radiological hazards associated with sediment samples collected from 13 locations along the Euphrates River as well as 12 associated irrigation wells were tested using a high-purity germanium system (HPGe). The radioactivity of isotopes 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K (Iso-RTK) in these sites exceed the worldwide limits, which makes them a human health risk. The estimated radiological parameters of the Euphrates and the well sediments exceed the radium equivalent (RE), absorbed dose rate (ADR), ann… Show more
