1. BIOACCUMULATION OF NATURALLY OCCURING RADIONUCLIDES IN RICE AND SWEET POTATOE SAMPLES CULTIVATED IN SELECTED FARMLANDS OF KEBBI STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This study details the bioaccumulation of natural radionuclides in rice and sweet potatoes samples acquired from selected farmlands of Kebbi State. Ten (10) samples of rice and five (5) samples of sweet potatoes were collected from (15) different farmlands in Kebbi State and an...
2. ELEMENTAL AND RADIOLOGICAL ANALYSES OF SELECTED INORGANIC AND ORGANIC FERTILIZERS IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The research consists of investigating the possible presence and concentrations of heavy metals and the concentration of natural radionuclides in inorganic and organic fertilizers in Nigeria. The 40K activity mean concentrations of inorganic fertilizers was 566±0.36Bqkg-...
3. SOIL-TO-PLANT TRANSFER FACTORS OF NATURAL RADIONUCLIDES IN FOUR COMMON NIGERIAN MEDICINAL PLANTS
ABSTRACT
The use of medicinal plants to prevent or cure common diseases in Nigeria has increased over the years. These plants can be a source of internal radiological contamination if their radionuclide contents are high. This research investigates the activity concentration of three na...
