Assessment of terrestrial gamma radiation dose rates and its associated hazards in Taraba State, Nigeria Open
Natural radioactivity is the major source of human exposure to ionizing radiation, whose level of exposure primarily depends on geographical and geological features of the region. Taraba State is endowed with abundant uranium deposits, whi…
Assessment of Terrestrial Gamma Radiations Doses Rates and its associated Hazards in Taraba State, Nigeria Open
Radioactivity distributions in the ambient air of Taraba State and their corresponding radiological health effects were assessed with respect to geological formations of the state. The radioactivity assessment was done using handheld radia…
Radon assessment of drinking water sources from Jibia town, Katsina State, Nigeria Open
Radon gas, the predominant source of natural occurring radioactive substances is released by natural decay of uranium in the ground. Its half-life is 3.823 days and it can penetrate soils and rocks, contaminating surface and ground water s…
Analysis of Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure from Power Transmission Lines within Sokoto Metropolis Open
Power transmission lines enable the efficient transfer of electricity over long distances. By transmitting electricity at high voltages, power losses due to resistance are minimized. This allows for the transport of electricity from power …
Synthesis, characterization, and biological potential of 2-thiophene carbaldehyde o-phenylenediamine Schiff base and its Cr(II), Mn(II), and Fe(II) Complexes Open
A Schiff base was produced through the chemical reaction of 2-thiophene carbaldehyde with o-phenylenediamine. The corresponding metal (II) chlorides were refluxed with the Schiff base to produce the complexes of Cr (II), Mn (II), and Fe (I…
Determination of Radon-222 (222Rn) in Well and Borehole Water at Nasarawa LG, Kano State, Nigeria Open
Nassarawa LG is one of Kano's most densely populated local government areas and depends solely on groundwater (well and borehole) for drinking and other domestic purposes. Radon, one of the most important radioactive elements, is abundant …
DETERMINATION OF ENERGY CONTENT OF PLANT BIOMASS FOR DOMESTIC AND SMALL-SCALE INDUSTRIAL HEATING APPLICATIONS Open
Determination of the calorific values and elemental contents of plant biomass are important in considering their heat energy potential and environmental friendliness. It is also important in performance modelling calculations on thermal sy…
Assessment of Natural Radioactivity in Drinking Water from some Selected Districts of Michika, Adamawa State, Nigeria Open
Radionuclides are source of radiation that were recorded to have damaging health effects for people living in a community with high back-ground radiation. This study was carryout to assess natural radioactivity in drinking water sources at…

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF RADON CONCENTRATION IN BOREHOLE WATERS; CORRELATION TO GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS KATSINA STATE, NORTH WESTERN NIGERIA Open
Radon in borehole water serves as a source of natural radioactivity exposure through indoor air. Determination of naturally occurring radionuclides concentration in ground and surface waters is useful as a contribution to environmental hea…
ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METAL CONCENTRATION IN VEGETABLES DRIED ALONG FUNTUA-DANJA HIGHWAY KATSINA STATE, NIGERIA Open
One of the major routes of heavy metal exposure to humans is via the consumption of vegetable. The study assessed the contribution of automobile emission on the concentration levels of heavy metals in some of commonly consumed vegetables i…
A study of actual and posted speed on some Nigerian roads Open
There is a massive problem of overspeeding on Nigerian highways. This problem is exacerbated by the absence of posted speed signs which though installed after reconstruction/rehabilitation are usually vandalised and not replaced. Where pos…
ASSESSMENT OF ANNUAL EFFECTIVE DOSE DUE TO INHALATION AND INGESTION OF RADON IN WATER SAMPLES FROM THE CEMENT INDUSTRIAL AREA OF SOKOTO, NORTH-WESTERN NIGERIA Open
Water remains the most abundant and critical commodity for guaranteeing the continuity of human lives on earth. Ensuring cleanliness of water for human consumption is of paramount importance. The 222Rn concentration has been assessed in dr…
