Abstract
Evaluation of the Activity Concentration of <sup>40</sup>K, <sup>226</sup>Ra and <sup>232</sup>Th in Soil and Associated Radiological Parameters of Shanono and Bagwai Artisanal Gold Mining Areas, Kano State, Nigeria
Highlights
The objective of the present paper is to report the evaluation of the activity concentration of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in Soil and associated radiological parameters of Shanono and Bagwai artisanal gold mining areas, Kano State, Nigeria
The absorbed dose rate in air had an average value of 100.89 nGy/hr which was higher than the recommended maximum value of 59nGy/hr (UNSCEAR, 2000)
The activity concentration of 238U, 232Th and 40K was higher than the world average values of 35, 30 and 400 Bq/kg respectively
Summary
The objective of the present paper is to report the evaluation of the activity concentration of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th in Soil and associated radiological parameters of Shanono and Bagwai artisanal gold mining areas, Kano State, Nigeria
