The gamma-ray spectrum equipped with a high-purity germanium detector was used to measure the naturally occurring radioactive materials of groundwater samples resources from the petroleum-producing communities of Ma’rib Province—Yemen. Thirty-five samples were collected from different sites. The ⁴⁰K, ²³²Th, and ²²⁶Ra activity concentrations of groundwater samples for oil and non-oil communities were measured. The annual effective doses due to ⁴⁰K, ²³²Th, and ²²⁶Ra were calculated and did not show a significant health impact. These results can contribute to building a database and provide a general background of the detectable TENORMs for studied areas, which will be useful in any radiological emergency. Significantly, the Ma’rib region is rich in oil and gas.

配备有高纯度锗检测器的伽马射线光谱用于测量也门马里布省石油生产社区的地下水样品资源的天然放射性物质。从不同地点收集了35个样本。测量了石油和非石油群落的地下水样品的⁴⁰ K，²³² Th和²²⁶ Ra活度浓度。由于⁴⁰ K，²³² Th和²²⁶而引起的年度有效剂量Ra是经过计算的，对健康没有明显影响。这些结果可有助于建立数据库，并为研究区域提供可检测的TENORM的一般背景，这将在任何放射紧急情况中有用。值得注意的是，马里布地区盛产石油和天然气。
