Measurement of The Radioactive Content and Dose of Water Samples (Tap and RO) For Children in Kut

Abstract

The radiological quality of ²³⁸U, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K in drinking water samples (tap and RO planet water) collected in Kut, Iraq. Samples were measured using direct ray spectroscopy as reported in the current study. The mean activity concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K for tap and RO drinking water were (1.5-3.78), (0.81-2.52), (9.08-27.04), (1.41-3.32), (0.8-2.43) , and (9.15-24.44) Bq.L^-1 respectively. Drinking water (tap and RO planet) is expected to contain ²³⁸U, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K at typical doses of (0.000049275-0.000124173), (0.000136-0.000423), (4.11E-05-1.22E-04), (4.63E-05-1.09E-04), and (0.000134-0.000408) individually.
