Radiological Risks of Radium-226 On Groundwater Based-Drinking in Kubwa And Gosa Area of Abuja , North Central Nigeria

Radiological Risks of Radium-226 On Groundwater Based-Drinking in Kubwa And Gosa Area of Abuja , North Central Nigeria

~ 0c001d73a5b32d378908a229bd67ccd2.200x200
The radiological risks associated with radium-226 in groundwater samples were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). The mean annual effective dose from the natural radionuclide of radium-226 (226R) was estimated to be 2.2 x 10‒5 mSv. In the groundwater samples, Lifetime average daily dose (LADD) ranged from 1 x 10‒3 to 2 x 10‒3 μg kg‒1 day‒1. The LADDs...
