Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine the background of radiation in 30 locations around Kufa cement factory at Al-Najaf governorate. Experimental processing were done using portable dosimeter that production by Inspector Exp+ company. As well as, radiological hazard such as Annual Effective Dose Equivalent (AEDE) in outdoor and Excess lifetime Cancer Risk (ELCR) due absorbed dose rate in outdoor (Doutdoor) in all sites were determined. The results show that the average values of Doutdoor, AEDE, and ELCR for study sites were 0.01185±0.003 μSv/h, 0.015±0.004 mSv/y, and (0.058±0.018)×10-3, respectively. Accordingly, the results of Doutdoor, as well as AEDE, and ELCR, from all sites of study area were within the recommended global limitations of the UNSCEAR. Finally, one may conclude that there is no danger from background. radiations on human health in all locations of the present study.
