| Özet |
| Outdoor dust (ODST), which is the main carrier of toxic elements in urban or industrial environments, is also one of the important sources causing public health problems. ODSTs in the production areas of coal-fired brick kilns generally consist of soil dust, brick dust and coal bottom ash. Therefore, these ODSTs contain naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) such as terrestrial radionuclides in the uranium (238U) and thorium (232Th) decay chains and radioactive potassium (40K). For the first time in this study, radiological health risks caused by the ionizing radiation doses from NORM in ODST samples collected from thirty-one lignite coal-burning clay brick factories in Türkiye were assessed for adult workers by estimating total annual effective dose (TAED) due to the external and internal exposure and the corresponding total lifetime cancer risk (TLCR). The elemental concentrations of uranium (U), thorium … |
