چکیده
|
Introduction: this study investigated the exposure rates of background radiations in selected locations of najaf and dhi qar cities, iraq. materials and methods: exposure rates were quantified using a portable geiger–müller meter. frequent readings of gamma dose rates were recorded (82 and 101 ngy h^-1). results: the lowest absorbed dose rate was found to be 43.5±17.4 ngyh^-1 in najaf (outdoor environments), and the highest was 174±8.7 ngy h^-1 in dhi qar city (outdoor environments). overall, the absorbed dose rates of background radiation fell within the worldwide range reported in other regions. conclusion: the selected locations in najaf and dhi qar cities showed normal absorbed dose rates with no adverse biological effects on people in the studied areas.
