  Radioactive elements cause pollution irreparable damage to the environment, as well as long-term consequences, such as genetic mutations and the spread of some cancers associated with radioactive substances. The high concentration of radioactive elements causes its accumulation in the brain and nervous system, which leads to the production of toxins. The current research has simulated the radiation intensity of the Sangan iron mine utilizing the Monte Carlo method and analyzing the geochemical data, the radiation level of this area has been simulated at a confidence level of 90%. The target elements of the above research are uranium, rare earth elements and thorium which are mostly scattered and scattered in different igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. In research, a regression model was first developed to estimate Radiation Intensity and then it was used to simulate the prob.. Read More»
