Due to the close correlation between environmental radiation
protection and human health protection, the normal radiological
activity of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were measured in samples of beef and milk as an animal products. The measurements were performed using a gamma spectrometer to measure those animal products collected from four different regions, namely Mahammid, Cap, Helal and Nesrab in Upper Egypt. The uptake of these radionuclides was estimated from animal food, clover, straw, and water. Results showed that the concentration of 226Ra, 232Th was lower than the permissible values. The total annual dose of natural radionuclides was estimated as a result of the consumption of the population in those areas contaminated with phosphates for animal products. The total eff... view moreĀ»
