Determination of Risk of Radioactive in Chemical Fertilizer Using Gamma Ray Spectrometry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fertilizer is one factor that is very influential in the success of agriculture. There are two types of fertilizer circulating in Indonesia today that is organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer (chemical). The used of chemical fertilizers allows the distribution of natural radionuclides into the environment. This study was conducted to determine the risk of the radioactive index of chemical fertilizer in Indonesia using gamma-ray spectrometry. There are 6 types of samples of fertilizers ie urea, ZA, KCL, NPK, TSP, and Phosphate. Radioactive risk index value that is found in the overall sample of fertilizer is below the limit recommended by the ICRP.
