Investigation of the status of occupational and public radiation protection in institute of nuclear medicine and allied sciences: Khulna, Bangladesh

Abstract

Radiation treatment is the key pathological concept for thyroid scan, thyroid uptake, bone scan, renal scan, and renogram, as well as various cancer therapies. Most of the ordinary people as well as the educated people of our country are not concerned about hidden radiation hazards in hospitals and radiation zones, which seriously affect not only public health but also employee health. In general, most people think that there will be nothing for them because they do not know anything about the damage of radiation. In some professions, like radiologists, radiology officers are highly affected by radiation because they cannot stay away from radiation. Since radiation has a dangerous effect on human health, we need to be concerned about radiation safety. Therefore, we gathered data from the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences in Khulna by survey meter. From our experiment, we found that radiation spread throughout the center, which is (0.8-1.7?Sv) the affordable limit.
