“…The distinction between artificial and natural ionizing radiation holds significant importance for human health, thus prompting extensive academic exploration in this domain. These investigations have utilized diverse methodologies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Artificially generated radiation finds extensive applications in diverse sectors, including nuclear technology and healthcare.…”

This study examines the radiation dose levels to which the kidney is exposed during kidney stone fragmentation procedures that utilize scopy imaging. The assessment was conducted using the Alderson Rando phantom and Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD). The study examined various exposure parameters and measured the radiation dose to the kidney over time. The results suggest a direct correlation between exposure duration and radiation dose, emphasizing the need to monitor radiation levels during fluoroscopic interventions, especially due to the kidneys' sensitivity to radiation. Future research should concentrate on optimizing scopy settings to minimize radiation exposure while ensuring diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.

“…Due to the development of nuclear technology in the past century, the presence of certain nuclear waste in the environment determines the artificial radiation dose levels worldwide. Individuals are exposed to ionizing gamma radiation emitted from natural radionuclides such as 232 Th, 226 Ra, and their decay products, as well as 40 K. These radionuclides and their progenies are major contributors to ionizing radiation in soil and rocks [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

In this study, the current status of natural and artificial radioactivity levels in soil samples from the Büyükçekmece and Silivri districts of Istanbul, as well as the Marmara Ereğlisi district in Tekirdağ, has been determined in anticipation of a potential nuclear leakage (e.g. the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant). Twenty soil samples were collected from the study area, and the radioactivity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs were measured using an HPGe detector. The average concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs were found to be 26 ± 2, 30 ± 2, 540 ± 29, 0.55 ± 0.07 Bq kg−1, respectively.

The accumulation of the radioactive gas radon in closed environments, such as dwellings, is the result of a quite complex set of processes related to the contribution of different sources. As it undergoes different physical mechanisms, all occurring at the same time, models describing the general dynamic turns out to be difficult to apply because of the dependence on many parameters not easy to measure or calculate. In this context, the authors developed, in a previous work, a simplified approach based on the combination of a physics-mathematical model and on-site experimental measurements. Three experimental studies were performed in order to preliminarily test the goodness of the model to simulate indoor radon concentrations in closed environments. In this paper, an application on a new experimental site was realized in order to evaluate the adaptability of the model to different house typologies and environmental contexts. Radon activity measurements were performed using a portable radon detector and results, showing again good performance of the model. Results are discussed and future efforts are outlined for the refining and implementation of the model into software.
