Natural radioactivity has attracted a lot of attention in the world due to its crucial role in human safety. macaroni (Macaroni) is a dry, hollow pastry, made from cereals such as wheat, rice and barley. Macaroni is one of the basic and important for human beings, as well as its proven usefulness to the general health of human beings. Therefore, the measurement of natural radioactivity is a critical because of its direct impact on human safety. In this research, quantification has been made of natural radionuclide concentrations using NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometry. The analyses of samples reveal the mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K% are found to 4.5E-01±0.071, 4.46±0.163 and 2.14±0.021, respectively. RLI,AUI,IC and Iα were also calculated the values were less than one also estimated annual gonadal equivalent dose (AGED) resulting with an average 302.98±07.59 mSv.y-1 where was higher than globally limits. Consumption of macaroni for adult was found (0.035±0.0015) mSv.y-1 which less than global studies , while the average value of cancer risk ( 1.21E-04±0.000005*10-3 mSv.y-1 Below the international permissible limits. The study can be considered as a basis for future studies on this basic substance in food.

This study assessed the radioactivity levels and associated risks in the black sand-separated products obtained from the black sand separation plant in Delta, Egypt. A total of sixteen samples were taken from hot spots during and after the separation process. These include water samples and other samples that represent monazite, rutile, zircon, granite, ilmenite, and silica products. The hot spots included the area where the ore was stored. The activity concentrations of $$^{232}Th$$ 232 T h , $$^{226}Ra$$ 226 R a , and $$^{40}K$$ 40 K were determined in these samples using a p-type HPGe detector. Based on gamma spectrometric analysis, samples of rutile, zircon, and monazite had the highest amounts of radioactivity because they contained the highest NORM’s activity concentrations. In addition, it indicated that the radiological hazard indices of the collected samples were higher than the average world limits for sand texture. These findings suggest that the black sand separation process reveals potential risks to human health and the environment, and therefore, appropriate measures need to be taken to mitigate these risks, especially for the safety of the workers on-site. Reducing the risk associated with those sites should be controlled by implementing the recommendations declared for the series of International Basic Safety Standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (GSR) Part 3, as affirmed in Document No. 103 of 2007 by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) as will be presented in the paper body.
