Description
This work aims at radiological assessment of environment of some industrial activities of the 10 Th of Ramadan City, Ores. final products, waste environmental samples (soil and plant) of five factories: Heavy industries, Ceramics, Granite, detergents and Sponge were collected and analyzed by using γ Spectroscopy. The results show that 10K , 238U series and 232Th series are found in some of the collected factories samples with different concentrations. The results indicate that 10K, 238U series. 232Th series and the man-made 137Cs are found in all the soil samples. While the collected plants samples contain 40K only. The radioactivity levels in the water samples are lower than the UNSCEAR data. It is concluded that the industrial activities did not contribute in increasing of the natural radioactive levels of the city environment
