Association of Cancer Disease and 226Ra Radiation Exposure in Water
S. A Hosseni
Abstract :
The purpose of the paper was to study association of radium 226 in piping drinking water and cancer disease in people. This study was cross-sectional with collected 25 samples, and done by mini column method on piping water after treatment. The technique of gamma-ray measurement was applied by using HPGe gamma detector. The cancer disease patient was accessed from health center and followed them. The activity concentrations of 226Ra in drinking water samples were 2±0.5 mBq/l - 10.4±0.8 mBq/l, the maximum concentration was 10.4±0.4 mBq/l and the minimum level was 2±0.5 mBq/l. The radiation absorbed dose in air was 60 nGy/h and effective dose was 0.00055 mSv. The radiation doses to biota were less than doses received from naturally occurring radioisotopes or from manmade activities. The concentration of 226Ra was so low in the drinking water that did not cause cancer disease.
