Abstract EN
Eleven types of seeds consumed by Jordanian people were investigated to determine the concentration levels of 226Ra, 228Ra and 40K radionuclides.
The calculated concentration ranges from 0.214 ± 0.017 to 7.583 ± 0.592 Bq/kgdry, 10.629 ± 0.914 Bq/kgdry and 92.0 ± 7.61 to 576 ± 46.22 Bq/kgdry for 226Ra, 228Ra and 40K, respectively.
The total annual effective dose that resulted from consuming the selected seeds by ingestion was 35.17 µSv/year, whereas the cancer risk ranges between 1.58×10-6 from fennel and 23.53×10-6 due to beans.
However, the average cancer risk value was 7.74×10-6, which is less than the world average cancer risk value 3mSv/year
