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 کاملAn evaluation of the equivalent dose due to natural radioactivity in the soil around the consolidated Tin mine in Baukuru-Jos, plateau state of Nigeria
Background: The equivalent dose in the human body due to the natural gamma-emitting radionucides (238U, 232Th and 40K) in the surface soil surrounding the Consolidated Tin mine site in Bukuru-Jos, Nigeria has been determined in this study. Materials and Methods: Measurements of the soil natural radioactivity were made using a multi-channel pulseheight analyzer (Canberra Series 10 plus) coupled ...
متن کاملElement Content of Surface and Underground Water Sources around a Cement Factory Site in Calabar, Nigeria
Background: Cement production is associated with heavy metal emissions and environmental pollution by cement dust. The degree of contamination of drinking water sources by major and trace elements present in cement dust generated by united cement factory (UNICEM) is still uncertain. This study estimated the element content of ground and surface water samples (hand-dug wells, boreholes and strea...
متن کاملAlpha radioactivity in Indian cement samples
ABSTRACT Background: The essential constituents of cements like lime, silica and alumina are derived from earth’s crust in which radioactive elements like uranium, thorium etc are also present in varying amounts almost everywhere. These two elements are considered as the parent elements of uranium and thorium radioactive decay series in which radon and thoron are produced respectively as decay...
