| Abstract | Many studies have discovered a direct correlation between cancerous diseases and radiationexposure. The radionuclides such as radon and its progeny which emit alpha particles arehighly toxic because they release a large amount of energy in a short distance within livingtissue when they enter the body through ingestion or inhalation and absorption throughthe skin. The object of this study is to determine and compare? the concentrations of radonand its progeny in the fresh blood of 60 female patients of different ages suffering frombenign ovarian (BO) tumors (N ? 30) and malignant ovarian (MO) tumors (N ? 30) in NajafGovernorate, Iraq, by using CR-39 detector. The results indicated that the maximum valuesof concentration of radon (222Rn), and polonium (POW, POF) in Bq/m3 were 20.138, 0.0582,0.0266 and the minimum values were 7.638, 0.0220, 0.0101 with the mean value of 12.152,0.0354, 0.0160 in BO group , while MO group where the maximum value were 142.361, 0.411,0.188, the minimum value were 6.25, 0.018,0.008 with the mean value were 42.731,0.123,0.056, respectively. Finally, the radon concentrations and its progeny in all samples werebelow the permitted limit of ICRP. The concentration measurement of radon and its shortlived progeny is critical in providing basic and important information for related researchtaking radon and its progeny as radioactive tracers. |
