Radiological Risks Associated with Liquid Effluents from Metallurgical Processes

Liquid waste streams arising from metallurgical operations, such as process waters, cooling fluids, and treatment effluents, may concentrate radionuclides mobilized during ore processing or thermal treatment.

These liquid matrices pose specific risks:

• Internal exposure of workers through handling or accidental contact,

• Migration of radionuclides into soil and groundwater systems,

• Secondary contamination of treatment infrastructure.

RADIO PROTECT LAB provides specialized radiological analysis of liquid metallurgical waste, supporting:

• Identification of radiological hazards,

• Environmental impact assessment,

• Implementation of protective measures for workers and surrounding ecosystems.

Radiological control of liquid effluents is essential to prevent long-term environmental contamination and occupational exposure.
