Abstract

In this study the assessment radon concentration in sludge of OilFields in North Oil Company (N.O.C.) of Iraq have been studiedusing CR-39 solid–state nuclear track detector technique. A total of34 samples selected from 12 oil stations in the company have beenplaced in the dosimeters. The average radon concentration was foundto be 162.29 Bq/m3 which is fortunately lower than the standardinternational limit. The potential alpha energy concentration andannual effective dose have been calculated. A proportionalrelationship between the annual effective dose and radonconcentration within the studied region has been certified.

Highlights

  • Radon which is a topic of public health dose by radon and its progeny from the concern has been found to be a inhalation of air is about 50% of ubiquitous indoor air pollutant in natural public exposure to high levels homes to which all persons are of radon can cause lung cancer [3].exposed [1]

  • Radon concentrations were measured by making dosimeter from closed can technique, as shown in Fig. 1, which means that the air at the whole exposure time was confined within the container

  • The radon concentration values obtained was varied within the studied zones depending on the height, wide, and ventilation opportunities of Oil Fields in North Oil Company (N.O.C.) of Iraq

Summary

Introduction

Radon which is a topic of public health dose by radon and its progeny from the concern has been found to be a inhalation of air is about 50% of ubiquitous indoor air pollutant in natural public exposure to high levels homes to which all persons are of radon can cause lung cancer [3].exposed [1]. Radon which is a topic of public health dose by radon and its progeny from the concern has been found to be a inhalation of air is about 50% of ubiquitous indoor air pollutant in natural public exposure to high levels homes to which all persons are of radon can cause lung cancer [3]. The radon concentration can build uranium nucleus decays to form stable up to high levels, exposing the lead, a process taking many years, it occupants via inhalation [4]. Radon is responsible for the majority to another in a sequence known as the of the public exposure to naturally uranium decay cycle [2].
