Abstract
The distribution of natural radionuclides in soil samples have been carried out in and around Hassan district, Karnataka, India by using Hyper Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector and natural ambient gamma dose rate were measured using portable GM survey meter ER-709. The activity concentration of radionuclides such as 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in soil samples of the study area are varies from 13.65±0.9 to 64±1.6, 19.43±0.9 to 185.5±1.8 and 197.85±9.8 to 1214±22.4 Bq kg-1 with a mean value of 39.40±1.3, 59.63±1.5 and 591.38±15.8 Bq kg-1 respectively. The radiological hazards such as the radium equivalent activities (Raeq), external hazard index (Hex), internal hazard index (Hin), gamma index (Iγ), gamma absorbed dose and annual effective dose associated with the natural radioactivity in soil samples were calculated and compared with global average values.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
