Assessment of radiation hazards from natural radionuclide activity in quarry sites and surrounding soils in Osun State, Southwest Nigeria
Abstract This study assessed the radioactivity levels of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs), specifically 40K, 232Th, and 238U, in quarry products and surrounding soils from four major commercial quarry sites in Osun State, Nigeria, using gamma spectroscopic technique. The average act...
