Like many developing countries, Libya is recently facing associated environmental and public health challenges related to radiological safety in the natural resources and built environment.

The growing reliance on imported building materials, combined with aging infrastructure, limited ventilation practices, groundwater rising levels, and increasing concerns about water contamination,...

36. Gamma radiation field modelling in an aeolian sediment profile

Luminescence dating accuracy relies on the precise determination of the total dose rate (Dr). While alpha and beta radiation effects are highly localized, gamma radiation forms a complex, continuous field influenced by the heterogeneous distribution of radionuclides throughout a sediment profile. Standard dosimetry often overlooks these spatial fluctuations, potentially leading to age...
