Nowadays, there is an emergent public concern about trace elements accumulation in surface soils of banana fields around the industrial area of Bangladesh. This work firstly assessed contamination of metal(loid)s (Cr, Cu, Ni, As, Zn Cd, Mn, Fe, and Pb,) in soils of banana fields, sources and ecological risks of trace elements using various indices, their bioaccumulation in banana plant tissues and probable health risk using chemometric approach. Soils and different tissues of banana (Musa spp.) were collected from long time cultivated banana fields around the industrial area and capital of old Pundranagar, Bangladesh and samples were measured by ICP-MS. Experimental data showed that concentrations range of Cr, Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, Pb, Fe, Mn and Zn in soil were 1.50–61.7, 2.42–87.4, 2.00-100.8, 0.25–31.2, 0.10–12.7, 0.60–91.8, 11330–23782, 8.69–105.9, and 7.50-125.9 mg/kg, respectively. Average level of trace elements in plant parts followed the descending order of roots > leaves > stems > fruits. As a whole, abundances of the examined trace metal(loid)s varied with elements species as well as samples, which occurred apparently due to the variations of parent materials of soil and the excessive use of agrochemicals and pesticides for banana cultivation. Trace elements in soils exhibited moderate to high degree of contamination where Cr, Pb, Zn, Cd and As in soils were mainly originated from anthropogenic activities. Considering health risks of measured metal(loid)s owing to the consumption of banana fruit, both non-cancer and cancer risks were perceived due to As contamination in the study area.

This work assesses the contamination of trace elements (Cr, Cu, Ni, As, Zn Cd, Mn, Fe, and Pb) in soil and different tissues of the banana plant (Musa spp.), the ecological risks of trace elements using various indices, and the probable health risks using a chemometric approach. Soil and different banana plant tissues were collected from banana fields around the industrial area of the capital of old Pundranagar (the earliest urban archaeological location), Bangladesh. Samples were digested by acid digestion, and trace elements were measured by inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer (ICP-MS). The concentrations of Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, Pb, Fe, Mn, and Zn in soil ranged from 1.50–61.7, 2.42–87.4, 2.00–100.8, 0.25–31.2, 0.10–12.7, 0.60–91.8, 11330–23782, 8.69–105.9, and 7.50–125.9 mg/kg, respectively. The mean concentrations of trace elements in four tissues descend in order of roots > leaves > stems > fruits. The abundances of trace elements varied in both soil and plant samples, which apparently occurred due to the variations of soil parent materials and the excessive use of agrochemicals for long-term banana cultivation. The soil exhibited a moderate to high degree of contamination with trace elements, and Cr, Pb, Zn, Cd, and As mainly originated from anthropogenic sources. Both non-cancer and cancer risks were perceived due to Cr and As exposure from the fruit tissue of banana plants in the study area.

Cesium (Cs-137) is a technically enhanced natural radioactive element TENORM. Cs-137 is presented out of nuclear accidents as an example of anthropogenic radionuclides. In this paper, the activity concentration of Cs-137 is estimated in fly ash samples with a NaI (Tl) detector (gamma spectroscopy). It has high efficiency for gamma measurements. Fly ash samples were collected from the electric thermal power station Al-Hartha at Basra city in the south of Iraq. About fourteen samples were collected, prepared, and measured. The Cs-137 activity concentration is found between 0 (BDL, blew detection limit) to 28±7 Bq kg -1 for the fly ash samples from electric thermal power station Al-Hartha. All measured values are lower than the worldwide background level (UNSCEAR recommendation 37 Bq kg -1 ). Also, the obtained Cs-137 activity concentration has no effect on the estimated effective dose rate, that be prophesied with the activity of Cs-137 and cosmic radiation. The Cs-137 contribution in the estimation of absorbed dose rate will discuss and calculation will present for the measured activity.
