Research Abstract
The knowledge on radioactivity content of the various radionuclides in the
soil and rocks play an important role in health physics. The main aim of this
work is to estimate the concentrations of natural radionuclides 226Ra, 228Ra,
228Th, 232Th and 40k in soil and phosphate samples and, impact of the ElSabaea
phosphate factory on the human health. This can be investigated via
gamma-ray spectroscopy by 2 × 2 inch NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. The
range of 226Ra, 232Th and 40k were from 59.7±6.7 to 638.3±31.0, from 9.4±1.4
to 40.6±6.3,from 213.1±9.5 to 798.9±30.6 in Bq/kg respectively.
