Comparison of the level of Radon Gas concentration for Renal failure patients in Ibn Marjana Hospital in Hillah/ Iraq
Numerous investigations have found a clear link between radiation exposure and illnesses.Because they release a lot of energy in a short amount of space within living tissue when they enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption, radionuclides like radon are extremely hazardous.In this study, 30 patients of various ages with renal failure at Ibn Marjana Hospital in the Hillah Governorate, Iraq, will have their blood radon concentrations measured and compared, by using CR-39 detector, the results indication that the maximum values of concentration in (Bq/m 3 ) (96.875) and the minimum values (9.02778 ) with the mean (34.2592593) in the patients group , while health group where the maximum value (74.23189), the minimum value (21.35438) with the mean value (27.8623818) for 222 Rn,.Finally, the radon concentrations in all samples were below the permitted limit of ICRP.The concentration measurement of radon and its shortlived progeny is critical in providing basic and important information for related research taking radon and its progeny as radioactive tracers.
