Radiological risk analysis of sediment from Kutubdia island, Bangladesh due to natural and anthropogenic radionuclides

Abstract

To assess the environmental radioac vity levels and hence to determine the popula on exposure in Kutubdia Island, Bangladesh the sediment samples were analyzed by using gamma ray spectrometry. In those sediment samples the average ac vity concentra on of natural radionuclides 238 U,

Monte Carlo simulations and forecasting of Radium-226, Thorium-232, and Potassium-40 radioactivity concentrations

“…For instance, Istanbul is selected as the study area due to the high population density, because there would be a great number of people that might be affected by natural radiation. The prospective natural radioactivity forecasting for the live population is significant, and therefore, their modelling, simulation and risk level calculations are important scientifically and practically [19]. Time series analysis of their records can be used to detect the characteristic variations of each variable [20][21][22].…”
