Abstract
The aim of this work is to evaluate concentrations of natural and artificial radionuclide in
nine different samples of condiments from local markets.
The concentrations of 238 U , 232 Th ,40k and 137Cs were measured by using gamma
spectroscopy with a high- purity germanium detector. The concentrations of 238 U, 232 Th ,40k
and 137Cs were found to be in a range of (21.4 - 91.13), (15.7 - 88.11) , (285.56 – 1100) and
(5.1 - 27.5) Bq.kg-1
respectively. These concentrations are not hazardous to public health and
the activities are within the allowed levels .
