التلوث الإشعاعي المحتمل للنباتات و التربة و المياه في بعض مناطق أهوار جنوب العراق

Abstract EN

The study included assessment of radioactive contamination of the sites marshlands of southern Iraq, Hammar marsh (the gentlemen Moagd and Abu Shama) and khibt marsh (Kerma Bani Sa'id) and Abu Zirik marsh (Fuhood district).

12 samples were selected for water and 9 samples of soil and 4 samples of weeds (plants) where the measurements were made laboratory to measure the concentrations of radiation in models of soil and vegetation and water.

It is hown that the results and laboratory measurements of the models has been shown to contain radioactive isotopes such natural potassium -40 for waterand soil samples within the permissible limits and concentrations of a few of the cesium -137 industrial (up to lower the limits of sensitive device, as well as bismuth (Bi-214) limits (6.3 -12.1) Bq / kg, also sensitive radium - 226 in the soil of the study, which amounted to value (08/25 to 08/13) Bq / kg is within the normal models for soil, as well as the study showed the absence samples weeds of any radioactivity.

In other words, all the study sites were devoid of any contamination or radioactivity.
