Youliang Wang received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Arizona State University, where he studied the characterization of organic matter in fog and cloud under Dr. Pierre Herckes. His research focused on applying analytical techniques like PARAFAC and DOSY-NMR to atmospheric samples. He has over 5 years of experience conducting field campaigns and collaborating with agencies like NASA and the Norwegian Institute for Air Research. Wang is skilled in various instrumental techniques and has published several papers on fog and aerosol chemistry. He is now seeking postdoctoral opportunities to further his research in atmospheric organic matter.
Radiation dose to the eyes of readers at the least distance of distinct visio...IOSR Journals
This work reports the measurements of the radionuclide contents in some widely read daily newspapers published in Nigeria, using gamma spectrometry. The radionuclides detected in the newspapers measured consisted of the natural radionuclides belonging to the series headed by 228Ra and 226Ra as well as the singly occurring radionuclide 40K. The mean activity concentrations obtained for 40K, 226Ra and 228Ra respectively in the newspapers were 183.41±135.43, 9.06±3.64 and 6.11±1.36 Bqkg-1, 139.10±90.38, 7.58±1.87 and 5.29±1.33 Bqkg-1 and 152.10±114.32, 9.62±1.40 and 5.76±1.29 Bqkg-1 respectively from P1, P2 and P3. The doses to the eyes due to the measured activity concentrations in the newspaper samples were determined for a distance of 0.25 m (least distance of distinct vision) from the eyes. The annual effective doses to the eye resulting from the activities of the radionuclides identified with observed regularity in all the newspaper samples, obtained in this study are 0.012±0.010, 0.010±0.009, 0.010±0.009 μSv y-1 respectively for the newspapers. These values show that the doses to the lens of the eye from the Nigerian newspapers assessed in this work are very low compared to the annual dose limit of 15 mSv y

Abstract:The level of natural radioactivity in soils and water of 74 samples collected from locations at Aden governorate south of Yemen was measured. Concentrations of radionuclides in soils and water samples were determined by gamma-ray spectrometer using a NaI (Tl) detector with specially designed shield. The mean activity level of the natural radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th and 40K is 30.41 ±2.4, 36.26 ±2.9 and 358.12±26.54 Bq kg-1, respectively. These values are well within values reported elsewhere in the country and in other countries with similar environments. The study also examined some radiation hazard indices. The mean values obtained are, 215±37Bq kg-1, 50.10±6 nGy h-1, 0.34mSv y-1, 0.30 and 0.34 for Radium Equivalent Activity (Raeq), Absorbed Dose Rates (D), Annual Effective Dose Rates (Eff Dose), External Hazard Index (Hex) and Internal Hazard Index (Hin) respectively. All the health hazard indices are well below their recommended limits. The paper recommends further studies to estimate internal and external doses from other suspected radiological sources to the population in Aden governorate.
Keywords:Absorbed dose, south Yemen, Aden governorate, Water, Soil, Natural Radioactivity.
As with all materials, if you work with nanoparticles a few minutes of thought about safety will help you avoid problems later. Dr. Dominick Fazarro of the University of Texas at Tyler discusses nanoparticle safety. This talk provides a reasonable discussion of the potential hazards of nanoparticles and steps that can be taken to reduce these hazards.
This talk is useful for those who work with nanoparticles or manage a facility that handles nanoparticles.
