Assessment of geogenic natural radionuclide contents of soil samples collected from Ogun State, South western, Nigeria
Background: Natural radionuclides are always present in the environment. Human exposure to the background radiation is inevitable. It is therefore important to assess health risk associated with these radionuclides. Materials and Methods: The distribution of natural radionuclides 238U, 232Th and 40K in soil samples collected from all the twenty (20) local Governments headquarter areas in Ogun s...

متن کاملMetal Fractionation in Soils Collected from Selected Cocoa Plantations in Ogun State, Nigeria
Nigerian cocoa farmers mostly use copper-based fungicides to control black pod disease of Theobroma cacao. Heavy metals are potentially toxic to soil microbes and soil environment in general. Toxicity depends on chemical association in soil. For this reason, determining the chemical forms of metals in soils is important to evaluate their mobility and bioavailability. Sequential extraction was u...

Background: The present work aims to determine the activity concentrations of 226Ra, 233Th and 40K in soil samples collected in Mounana in the Southeastern region of Gabon, to evaluate the contribution of the natural. Materials and Methods: An HPGe p-type detector coupled with a multichannel analyzer DSA-1000 was used to perform measurements and process data. Data acquisition and analysis were ...
متن کاملAssessment of Fish Biodiversity in Oni River, Ogun State, Nigeria
For the purpose of sustainable exploitation of the fishery resources of Oni River, Ogun State, Nigeria, the fish biodiversity assessment was carried out. This was conducted by enumerating and identifying fish species composition, measuring the fish length, fish weight, assessing the fish abundance and biomass, determining the length-weight relationships and the length-frequency of the fishes. A...
