Abstract EN

Radioactive background is very important with regard to the exposure of the population to radiation, many countries of the world measure the rate of exposure caused by natural radiation for different purposes, where radioactive pollution represents an important problem as a result of the spread and the frequent use of radioactive materials in different applications, such as medicine, agriculture, industry, and others, and some industrial facilities in the city of Misurata like Libyan iron company use some techniques that depend on radioactive sources.

in this study, over a whole year with its four seasons, the levels of radiation background were evaluated in the area surrounding the Libyan iron and steel company in the Qasr Ahmed region in Misurata city and within the company's.

it is measured for primary and secondary directions for a distance of 8 km.

the radiation levels outside and inside the company's perimeter were within the natural limits of the radiation background in the area, radiation levels do not different between the monitoring points that were measured within the company's borders from those that were measured in the area surrounding the company.

the radiation levels are not affected by the measurement season, and therefore that the obsession of radioactive contamination that some people have is unfounded and that the situation from this aspect is reassuring.
