| Open Access | EVALUATING RADIOLOGICAL HAZARDS AND RADIONUCLIDE TRANSFER IN SOUTHWESTERN BANGLADESH'S SOIL-TO-VEGETABLES SYSTEM
Nasim Hussain , Department of Physics, University of Dhaka, Dhaka, BangladeshAbstract
This study conducts an in-depth assessment of radiological hazards and the transfer of radionuclides from soil to vegetables in the southwestern district of Bangladesh. Given the importance of safe food production and consumption, particularly in densely populated regions like Bangladesh, understanding the potential risks associated with radioactive contaminants is crucial. The research encompasses the measurement of radionuclide concentrations in soil and various vegetable crops commonly cultivated in the region. Additionally, transfer factors are calculated to evaluate the efficiency of radionuclide uptake from soil to vegetables. The findings provide valuable insights into the radiological safety of locally produced vegetables and contribute to enhancing public health awareness in the region
