Abstract
In this research, specific activity of uranium-238 (238U), thourium-232 (232Th), and potsium-40 (40K) in ten samples of rice that importuned from India in Iraqi markets. Specific activity was measured using NaI(Tl) detector. Also, internal hazard index (Hin) in all samples was calculated. The results of specific activity in the samples of the present study were ranged from 8.47 to 18.09 for 238U, from 3.65 to 19.72 for 232Th, and from 152.44 to 548.19 for 40K. It was found that all values of 238U and 232Th were below the global limit by UNSCEAR 2008, while the values of only some samples of 40K were higher than of global limit by UNSCEAR 2008. The results have been shown no significant and no correlation (P>0.05) between Hin and cholesterol as well as HDL, and LDL in patients (males and females). But, according to Hin due to natural radioactivity in all Indian rice samples in Iraqi markets is safe.
