Radiological risk assessment of use of phosphate fertilizers in soil
ABSTRACT Background: The radiological impact of the use of phosphate fertilizers in soil is due to the internal irradiation of the lung by the alpha particles, short lived radon-thoron progeny and the external irradiation of the body by gamma rays emitted from radionuclides in situ. This paper describes the results of gamma spectrometric measurements of the concentration ...

متن کاملNatural Radioactivity and Dose Assessment for Brands of Chemical and Organic Fertilizers Used in Saudi Arabia
The activity concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides K, Ra and Th have been measured in different brands of fertilizer samples in Saudi Arabia using sodium iodide gamma spectrometry. The results of measurements showed that the mean (ranges) of specific activities for Ra, Th and K activities in the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are 64 (35.8 120.7), 17 (3.2 56.8) and 2...
متن کاملUranium and heavy metals in Phosphate Fertilizers
Agricultural applications of chemical fertilizers are a world wide practice. The specific activity of uranium-238 and heavy metals in phosphate fertilizers depends on the phosphate ore from which the fertilizer produced and on the chemical processing of the ore. Composite phosphate fertilizers samples where collected and the uranium-238 specific activity, in Bq/kg, and As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Se concen...
متن کاملDataset of surface refractivity in Southeast, Nigeria
In this data article, analysis of surface refractivity and water vapour density in Southeast, Nigeria were reported. The meteorological data were collected for the period of 39 years between 1973 and 2012 from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climatology Centre. Five locations considered in the study area includes: Enugu, Onitsha, Abakaliki, Aba and Ihiala. Descriptive sta...
