Abstract

In this study, phosphorescence analysis (KPA) is used for determining soil collected from the Tigris River from Al- Karrada and Bab Al-Sharq in Baghdad and samples were taken from rainwater collected from Al-Rashad, Al-Obeidi, Al-Dora and Al-Sadr City in Baghdad. The measurements were carried out by the Iraqi Ministry of Health and Environment, in the Radiation Protection Center. The collection, removal and evaporation of the samples ranged from January to the end of March 2018. The results show the presents of concentration of 238U and 235U in soil samples and the rainwater samples. The conclusion of this work is the concentration of uranium in soil samples is more than recommendations by ICRP value of 1.9 μg /l. While all water samples can be compared with the value of WHO, which has a safe limit of 15 μg/l which is considered acceptable.

Highlights

  • The environment is all things that surround us, and directly or indirectly affect the presence of living organisms on the earth's surface [1, 2], including water, air, soil, minerals, climate, even objects themselves

  • Samples of rainwater were collected in Al-Rashad, Al-Obeidi, Al-Dora and Sadr City in Baghdad

  • The results show in the soil samples uranium concentrations of 238U is 152.3 mBq /kg in sample S1, while the S2 sample was

Summary

Introduction

The environment is all things that surround us, and directly or indirectly affect the presence of living organisms on the earth's surface [1, 2], including water, air, soil, minerals, climate, even objects themselves. Environmental models (soil, water) and food models of all kinds in addition to urine due to the accuracy of the device, it is possible to know the precise concentrations of uranium in the above models and here comes the importance of the device in terms of accuracy and characterized by the technology used, which is characterized by such accuracy device [6]. In this device, uranium is analyzed from various samples, such as uranium nitrate solutions, uranium ore, and by the laser-derived phosphorous laser analyzer, which is based on stimulating the uranium with laser pulses of 20 pulses per second. Uranium was examined in crude samples and measured in a laser analyzer [7]
