Radiotoxicity risks of radium-226 (226Ra) on groundwater-based drinking at Dawaki, Kuje, Giri and Sabon-Lugbe area of Abuja, North Central Nigeria
In this study, 226Ra and heavy metal concentrations
were studied to represent the radiotoxicity risk of
groundwater of Abuja, North Central Nigeria. Groundwater
samples were collected from five areas in Abuja, and
measurements were taken by using inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometer. Radium (226Ra) concentrations
were determined from 0.067 to 0.216 lg/L. The mean
annual effective...
