Abstract AR

في هذا البحث، تم قياس تراكيز الرادون في نماذج من بعض أنواع من مياه الشرب الصحية المتوفرة في الأسواق العراقية باستخدام تقنية (Durridge RAD-7-H2O) ذات الحلقات المغلقة و تم تحديد معدل الجرعة السنوية المؤثرة على الإنسان لنتيجة تناوله هذا الماء.

و وجد إن مدى تراكيز الرادون للنماذج المدروسة يتراوح من 1.2 Bq.m-3 إلى 142 Bq.m-3، أن نتائج تراكيز الرادون و معدل الجرعة السنوية المؤثرة في نماذج مياه الشرب كانت أقل من المسموح به لمنظمتي USEPA & WHO و التي تساوي 500 Bq / m-3 و 1 mSv / y على التوالي.

Abstract EN

In this research, radon concentrations in some types of healthy drinking water samples available in Iraq's market were measured using a technique called Durridge RAD-7-H2O with closed loop.

Then the rate of annual effective dose in human taken this water is determined.

It was found that, radon concentrations in studied samples ranged between 1.2 Bq.m-3 to 142 Bq.m-3.

The results of the radon concentrations and the rate of annual effective dose for drinking water samples were significantly lower than the USEPA and WHO recommended limits that equal 500 Bq / m3 and 1 mSv / y respectively.
