Abstract
Knowledge Expertise of radioactivity levels in the human diet is very important to
estimating potential radiological risks to human health. During this research gamma ray
spectroscopy technique was used to measure the awareness and amount of the annual effective
dose (Eave) due to Uranium, Thorium and Potassium and the lifetime risk factor for cancer
(ELCR) in forty samples, of the most widely used medicinal herbs in Iraq and evaluation of
ingested doses through herbs consumption, the estimated total annual effective dose received
of Uranium, Thorium and Potassium due to the population’s consumption of medicinal herbs
ranges (0.0124-0.9632) with a mean (0.1502), (0.0024-5.7334) with a mean (0.4750),
(0.8324-7.9970) with a mean (2.9349) in units (μSv/y) respectively, while the lifetime risk
factor for cancer was ranges (0.0291-0.2798) with a mean (0.1026). All results indicate that
they are within the permissible limits for medical and food use, and when comparing the
results with IAEA publications and international and Arab research, it was found that they are
significantly less than the permissible global range and therefore do not pose a threat to human
health also can be considered as database of these herbs in the future.
