Determination of Alpha Emitter in the Blood of the Smokers by using CR-39 (SSNTDS)

Abstract

Abstract:Solid state nuclear track detectors have been used to determine the distribution of various radionuclides in biological materials (smokers and nonsmokers blood persons) ; this is done by putting 10 CR-39 nuclear track detectors sheet in 5ml blood (each detector alone) sample in test tube and kept in cold region for 40 days. The CR-39 detectors then etched in 6.25N NaOH solution for 4hours at 60ᵒC. Results showed that the mean track density in the blood of the smoker's persons which is (99.4), which is higher than the mean track density in the blood of the nonsmokers persons which is (78.56).
