EVALUATION OF EXCESSIVE LIFETIME CANCER RISK DUE TO NATURAL OCCURRING RADIONUCLIDES AND HEAVY METALS IN LAGOS BEACH SEDIMENT WORK

Abstracts

Evaluation of anthropogenically enhanced naturally occurring radionuclides 238U, 232Th and 40K present in Lagos beach sediment (Eleko and Elegushi) were analyzed with gamma ray spectrometer using a highly shielded NaI (TI) detector with the objective of evaluating the environmental radiological hazard. Mineralogical analysis and characterization was also carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Cr and Fe were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. (AAS model: Buck Scientific Model 210VGP and A. Analyst 200 Perkin Elmer).
