Relationship of Radon and Uranium Concentration Index with Laryngeal Cancer Patients: A Comparative Study
Abstract
Your larynx helps you speak, breathe and swallow. It contains your vocal cords. Cancer affecting your larynx or vocal cords happens when cells grow uncontrollably in your larynx. As these cancerous (malignant) cells multiply, they invade tissues and damage your body .In this study, 30 samples of Throat Cancer (Th .C) patients were collected from Middle Euphrates Oncology Center in Najaf, Iraq. A plastic track CR-39 Reagent technique, strippable was used to measure radium and uranium concentrations. Normality was a washing solution NaOH was 6.2 to clarify chemical drilling to read under the electron microscope to calculate alpha particles paths.
The average radon concentration in the air space of the container was lower(6.3868) Bq/m3 in healthy people compared to laryngeal cancer(38.7547) Bq/m3, The average concentration of radon in the blood sample was lower(0.00014) (Bq/m3 in healthy people compared to laryngeal cancer (2.3529) Bq/m3, also the same behavior for the radioactivity of radon Most importantly, uranium concentrations in patients’ samples(1.9E-07) ppm were much higher compared to healthy people(5.22E-37)ppm .A positive relationship was observed between Radium concentration and uranium concentrations in blood samples. Measurements of Radium and uranium concentrations in (Th.C) patients, this research important in terms of health protection, simple and reliable analysis methods which available.
