Topic: Assessment Of Radionuclides And Radon In Food, Water, Soil And Blood Samples
Description:
There are NORMs (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) and radon everywhere around and inside of everything on the surface of the Earth. Hence, it is necessary to assess the amount humans are being exposed too in order to prevent any unwanted or excess exposure to harmful radiation. Food substances, water samples, air and human blood samples are being collected and taken to the laboratory for analysis after which the present radionuclides are being assessed, the annual effective doses and hazard indices are being calculated as well as the excess lifetime cancer risk which are now compared with the WHO and ICRP standards.

Title: A comparison of Radon concentration in human blood samples using Cancer and Non cancer patient
Introduction
Radon as we know is a colourless,
odourless, tasteless radioactive gas which occurs naturally and cannot be
detected with the human senses.
It comes from the radioactive decay of
radium, which comes from the radioactive decay of uranium. The radium decomposes
into radon gas which is found in small quantities in all soils, rocks, water,
and even in human tissues, although the amount varies from place to place, due
to geological structure.
Radon gas decays into solid radioactive
particles that can get trapped in lungs and some other body tissues when it is
inhaled or ingested
Aim and
Objectives
To compare the
amount of dissolved radon in blood tissues of Cancer and non cancer
patient from medical centers in Lagos State Nigeria.
Materials and Methods
Blood samples would be collected
into EDTA bottles from twenty cancer and non cancer patients of Lagos State
Medical Center, and taken to the Laboratory for analysis using radon detection.
Expected Outcome
The result obtained would be
compared with the WHO standard.
