متن کاملDetermination of radiological map of radionuclides distribution in soils around of Shazand oil power plant
In this study, 34 soil samples were collected from the east of the Shazand power plant to the Arak city, with a length of 25 km. The specific activities of radionuclides of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and 137Cs were determined using gamma-ray spectrometry method. Gamma-ray spectra registered to employ high purity germanium (HPGe) detector with 30% relative efficiency. Specific activities of correspondi...
متن کاملWater quality assessment for groundwater around a municipal waste dumpsite
The dataset for this article contains geostatistical analysis of the level to which groundwater quality around a municipal waste dumpsite located in Oke-Afa, Oshodi/Isolo area of Lagos state, southwestern has been compromised for drinking. Groundwater samples were collected from eight hand-dug wells and two borehole wells around or near the dumpsite. The pH, turbidity, salinity, conductivity, t...
متن کاملAssessment of occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via involuntary ingestion of soil from contaminated soils in Lagos, Nigeria.
Soils from 12 sites in Lagos area, Nigeria impacted by anthropogenic activities were extracted by ultrasonication and analysed for the concentration of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The concentration of the sum of PAHs ranged from 0.2 to 254 μg/g at these sites. The sum benzo[a]pyrene-equivalent dose (BaPeq) at the sites rang...
متن کاملAssessment of the Specific Activity of Alpha- and Beta-emitting Radionuclides in Groundwater, Anka, Nigeria
Introduction: After the lead poisoning outbreak came to light in Zamfara State, Nigeria, people living near gold mines were worried about environmental safety, especially drinking water quality. This study examined the gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations in groundwater in different locations of Anka, Zamfara State, Nigeria, to measure the possible radiation dose and potential hea...
