QA&QC service for medical facilities (X-ray radio diagnostics, radiotherapy). -
Calibration of radiation metrological equipment. -
Assessment of patient’s dose in radiotherapy and radio diagnostics. -
Advice, design for radiation protection, production of shielding materials for X-ray diagnostic, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy installations. -
Personal dosimetry service for radiation workers. -
Estimation and inspection for radiation safety of radiation installations. -
To carry out QA&QC in monitoring radioactivity of natural (U, Th, K, Ra, Rn) and anthropogenic isotopes (90Sr, 137Cs, 239+240Pu, ...) in environmental and foodstuffs samples including import-export products. -
Study of urban aerosol pollution sources by using of nuclear and related analytical techniques (INAA, XRF, PIXE, IC, Polarography) for elemental composition and ions in PM2.5, PM2.5-10 and multivariate receptor modeling techniques to identify pollution sources. -
Study of influence of meteorological conditions on PM2.5, PM2.5-10 concentrations during the monsoon season in Hanoi. -
Study of soil erosion with isotopic techniques (210Pb, 137Cs). -
Study of environmental behavior of pesticides in the tropical environment. -
Participating in UNDP/RCA/IAEA Co-ordinated Research Programme on Air Pollution and its Trends in Asia and the Pacific as well as ACE (Aerosol Characterization Experiments). -
Regularly in cooperation with other Laboratories in Vietnam monitor the level of radioactive and non-radioactive contaminants in the environment. -
