Assessment of radiological indices and physiochemical characterization of sediments in Chashma Lake, Pakistan

Twenty surface sediment samples were gathered from Chasma Lake, deciding the radionuclides 137 Cs, 226 Ra, 228 Ra, 232 Th, and 40 K and their associated hazard indices. The deliberate radionuclide activities of present research have been contrasted with earlier research, and acquired outcomes in the...

Description
Summary:Twenty surface sediment samples were gathered from Chasma Lake, deciding the radionuclides 137 Cs, 226 Ra, 228 Ra, 232 Th, and 40 K and their associated hazard indices. The deliberate radionuclide activities of present research have been contrasted with earlier research, and acquired outcomes in the present study are found below the results in the world. The radiation hazard indices following the presence of natural radionuclides in sediment samples were estimated, and the results assigned the values of all the determined radiological indices found inside the worldwide suggested limits. It was concluded from the current review that the sediment of Chashma Lake is safe for construction and agriculture and does not make radiation dangerous to the nearby local area of the lake.
