Abstract:Natural radionuclides are present in food items at different levels, influenced by factors like background radiation, climate, and agricultural practices. These radionuclides play a crucial role in internal radiation exposure in humans. Notably, radionuclides within the decay series 238U and 232Th as well as 40K are significant concerns in radiation protection due to their prevalence and potential health risks. The activity concentrations of radionuclides 238U, 232Th, and 40K in several food crops consumed wit… Show more
