Naturally Radioactive Food
Among the activities of the cultural season of our center .. Physiologist Ali Adel Jassim delivered a panel discussion entitled "Natural Radiation in Food" on Monday 12/2/2018 at the Blue Hall in the center, where he summarized his lecture as follows:
Technically, all food is slightly radioactive. This is because all food and other organic molecules contain carbon, which naturally exists as a mixture of isotopes, including radioactive carbon-14. However, some foods emit much more radiation than others such as Ra-226, K-40 …etc. In this lecture we introduce some naturally radioactive foods and how much radiation we get from them.
