Effects of Radon Gas on Human Health in some of Cosmetics

Abstract

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in soils everywhere. It is unique among radioactive elements because it is the only one that occurs as a gas. This permit motion up during the soils and cracks in rocks until the gas get-away into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere it is very dilute. The shown study an overview of the evaluation of radon (222Rn) activity concentration in eight cosmetics samples from different origins in Hilla city/ Iraq by using alpha-emitters records that emitted from radon gas in Durridge RAD-7 radon-in-air monitor, using RAD-H2O technique with closed loop aeration connotation. The value ranged between (1.43BqL-1) for Blossom lotion sample and (1.45 BqL-1) for Remove makeup, the rate reaches about (1.438BqL-1). The present work all cosmetics samples were with lowest concentricity of radon gas than the allowed border from the International Commission of Radiation Protection (ICRP) agency.
