Abstract
Organoarsenic can be applied to feed to improve feed efficiency or as a radiation dosimeter, as presented in this study. A developed radiochromic solution and powder based on p-arsanilic acid (P-ASA) was evaluated at various concentrations. Using a UV–vis Spectrophotometer, EPR analysis were operated, the spectrophotometric characteristics of P-ASA aqueous solutions that were both unirradiated and gamma-irradiated were evaluated. For applications involving moderate dose dosimetry, two absorption peak intensities were observed at λmax 300 nm and 361 nm following gamma ray exposure within the range of up to 4.5 kGy. The results indicate that P-ASA solutions exhibit good dosimetric properties and can be considered as a dosimeter.
