Gamma spectroscopic technique with NaI(Tl) was used to measure uranium activity in well-water samples collected from the Nineveh Governorate in northern Iraq. The obtained results determined chemical toxic and radiological risks to humans through uranium content, either carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic, during lifetime utilisation by the population in the region. The activity of uranium ranged from 1.09 to 4.86 Bq.L−1. The radiological risks for excess cancer mortality fluctuate between 4.09 × 10−5and 1.82 × 10−4, while those for cancer morbidity risk range from 6.26 × 10−5to 2.79 × 10−4. The measured lifetime average daily dose ranged from 1.20 µg.kg−1day−1to 5.37 µg.kg−1day−1. All samples are clearly below the recommended value (4.53 µg.kg−1day−1) except sample (W12). The current research may be of imperative significance in radioactive epidemiological evaluation, diagnosis and forecast of uranium infections within the current region. |
