Excess lifetime Cancer risk and Radiation Pollution hazard indices in rocks and soil of some selected mining sites in Nasarawa State, Nigeria

Radiation exposures from mining and mineral processing industries can lead to high incidence of disease conditions like nausea, lung cancer, sterility, fatigue, and diarrhoea among mineworkers. The concentration of primodial radionuclides (238U, 232Th and 40K) in some selected mining sites in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, was examined in this study. Soil and rock samples from eight different mining sites were collected and analyzed for radionuclides activity concentration by gamma ray spect...
