The accurate determination of the levels of 210 Pb in environmental samples (eg
atmospheric aerosols, waters, soils, biota, etc.) is essential due to its multiple applications in …

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas; generated during the decay process of
radium, when alpha particles start to be emitted, turning the radium into radon. The rate of …

High purity germanium (HPGe) detectors are deployed globally for gamma-radiation
spectroscopy due to their superior energy resolution. In this work, the essential …

Abstract Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators based on piezoelectric semiconductors are
radio frequency devices that can convert X-ray dose rate into resonant frequency offset …

Background We hypothesized that particulate matter (PM) gamma activity (gamma radiation
associated with PM) is associated with systemic effects. Objective Examine short-term …

Inhalation of particulate matter (PM) radioactivity is an important pathway of ionizing
radiation exposure. We investigated the associations between short-term exposures to PM …

NaI (Tl) scintillation materials are considered to be one of many materials that are used
exclusively for γ-ray detection and spectroscopy. The gamma-ray spectrometer is not an …

Protection in industrial radiography facilities has been a worldwide concern for decades and
the most appropriate protection for the public and operators in small scale facilities is the …

Background Recent studies have found that particulate matter (PM) attached radioactivity
was associated with certain adverse health effects including increased blood pressure and …

The selection of appropriate materials and their thicknesses, which should be used for
germanium spectrometer shielding, is an important and complex task with the aim to reduce …
