مصادر الإشعاع في الطبيعة و مخاطره

Abstract EN

Pollution is a very significant problem that affects the environment, causes damage of structures and interferes with proper uses of the environmental resources.

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and Technical Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (TENORM) are two terms used in oil and gas industries and phosphate processing.

NORM and TENORM continue to present effective and economic challenges as well as risk and regulation concerns for oil / gas and phosphate industries that include mining, water, recycling and land remediation.

Adequate regulations should be applied in order to mitigate this risk.

The sources of most of the radioactivity are isotopes of U and Th series, which are naturally present in the subsurface formations from which oil/ gas and phosphate processing are produced.
