Assessment of natural radionuclides and its radiological hazards from tiles made in Nigeria
Activity concentration of 10 different brands of tiles made in Nigeria were analyzed using High purity
Germanium gamma detector and its hazard indices such as absorbed dose rate, radium equivalent activity,
external Hazard Index (Hex), internal Hazard Index (Hin), Annual Effective Dose (mSv/y), Gamma activity Index
(Iγ) and Alpha Index (Iα) were determined. The result showed that the...
