This research aimed to measure radon activity concentrations in bottled drinking water (BDW) samples consumed in Kahramanmaraş town, Turkiye. Also, to evaluate the health risk that may occur as a result of internal irradiation resulting from ingestion and inhalation of radon in BDW samples, the total annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) for infants, children, and adults (1-2 y, 2-12 y, and > 17 y) and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) for adults (> 17 y) had to be calculated. For these purposes, 32 water samples of different volumes belonging to 8 different commercial brands, representing a large part of the BDW consumed as drinking water and sold commercially in Kahramanmaraş were collected by purchasing from markets.

In the context of nuclear emergency preparedness, the level of radiation knowledge among healthcare professionals-such as doctors, nurses, and radiographers-directly influences the effectiveness and safety of emergency responses. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the radiation knowledge of medical personnel and identifying areas for improvement in profession-specific training programs.

The capture of radioactive iodine (129I or 131I) is of significant importance for the production of nuclear power and the treatment of nuclear waste. In recent years, crystallized porous materials have been extensively investigated to achieve highly effective adsorption of radioactive iodine. Herein, by using the hydrothermal method, a Ni cluster-based framework () was successfully constructed through a self-assembly process.

Background: Molecular assays serve as a potential risk stratification tool for cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITNs). mutations are nearly always associated with thyroid cancer. However, the malignancy risk for ITNs with other less common alterations is less well understood.

Water usually contains small quantities of radioactivity. The presence of significant levels of radioactivity in drinking water sources poses potential health risks to the public. Consequently, determining the concentrations of gross alpha and gross beta activity in water is essential for ensuring water safety.
