Abstract:
Introduction: The present study was conducted to measure the specific activities of ۲۲۶Ra,۲۳۲Th and ۴۰K, in some samples of nuts collected from the local markets in Iraq. In addition, this study sought to calculate the annual effective dose of gamma ray to children and adults. Material and Methods: The quantification of radionuclides was accomplished by gamma spectrometry NaI (Tl) detector. Results: According to the results, the specific activity of ۲۲۶Ra ranged from ۱.۳۹±۰.۵۳ to ۱۳.۳۳±۱.۱۹ Bq/kg with a mean value of ۶.۷۱±۱.۳۴ Bq/kg. However, regarding ۲۳۲Th and ۴۰K, their specific activities had the range values of ۰.۲۹±۰.۰۹ to ۲.۴۳±۰.۲۵ and ۲۳۲.۰۶±۸.۴۲ to ۳۷۶.۴۷±۶.۲۶ Bq/kg with the mean values of ۱.۶۸±۰.۵۰ and ۳۰۸.۵۷±۱۷.۷۶, respectively. Furthermore, the mean values of the total annual effective radioactive dose in ۱۰-year-old children and adults were ۷.۴۳±۰.۸۶ and ۵۴.۴۸±۶.۳۲ μSv/y, respectively. Conclusion: As the findings indicated, the values obtained for the specific activity of natural radionuclides samples under study were far below the world standard for the ingestion of naturally occurring radionuclide provided by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (۲۰۰۰) report. The results indicated that the estimated total annual effective radioactive dose in all samples was lower than the value of annual dose limit of ۱ mSv/y for public exposure, which is determined by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Based on the results for each sample, it can be concluded that nut consumption do not expose the Iraqi population to any health risk.
