Topic: Assessment Of Radionuclides And Radon In Food, Water, Soil, Air, Buildings And Human Samples Such As Blood, Urine And Saliva.
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 samples such as: blood, urine and saliva 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.

A comparison of Radon concentration in human blood samples using Cancer and Non cancer patient
Radon as we know is a colourless, odourless, tasteless radioactive gas which occur naturally, and cannot be detected with the human senses.It comes from the radioactive decay of radium, which is also 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.Aims and ObjectivesTo compare the amount of dissolved radon in blood tissues of Cancer and non cancer patients from Medical facilities in Lagos State, Nigeria.Materials and MethodsBlood 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 OutcomeThe result obtained would be compared with the WHO standard.
