Determination Radon Concentration (Radon Gas) in Urine of Patients with Cancer
Mohammed M. Asker , Esam S. Ali , Sarwa A. Mohammed
Abstract
The present study aims at studying the measurement radon concentration (Radon gas) in the urine of patients with
cancer, that made up of (23) different samples of patients’ urine. These samples have collected from Kirkuk Oncology
& Hematology Center. Chemical etching process for CR-39 track detector has used to record the traces of Alpha
particles “alpha rays” or “alpha radiation” that comes from Radon included in the models. The Plastic Tubing – Tubes
that contain some models in reagent irradiation process, which shaped as U letter, have been used. The results
illustrated that the highest concentration of Radon is (8.9) Bq.m-1 in R14 model, as well as the lowest concentration of
Radon is (1.5) Bq.m-1 in R4 model. The Radon levels that have been measured are within the natural limits of
radioactive decay caused by radioactive nuclide or “radioactive isotope” in urine of patients with cancer; these are
not a risk in humanity
