Background of study
Radiation refers to any sort of energy that may be transmitted as rays, waves, or a stream of particles. Radiation can be either ionizing or nonionizing. Ionizing radiation is more dangerous than non-ionizing radiation because it causes ionization to...
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The radiation burden of the environment is constantly being enhanced by ionizing radiations from natural sources and their transfer to flora and faunas have been noted by many researchers...
ABSTRACT
Activity concentrations of radionuclides in rocks and minerals are of vital importance in geosciences and health physics especially that primordial radionuclides constitute the main source of radiation exposure risks externally in soil, rocks and minerals. In this study, sample...
ABSTRACT
Mining of tin and other related activities have been active and thus leading to economic growth in the Jos area of Nigeria for more than a century. However, mining of minerals has been confirmed to enhance the concentrations of heavy metals and natural radioisotopes in the soil...
