Investigation of Radiation Levels in Soil Samples Collected from Selected Locations in Ogun State, Nigeria

Investigation of Radiation Levels in Soil Samples Collected from Selected Locations in Ogun State, Nigeria

~ 5c9ab673dd020f6a5eb6f49452643495.200x200
The study found that the activity concentrations and radiological hazard index from samples from Ewekoro and the neighbourhood are consistently higher than those from Covenant University however; the values are less than the recommended safe levels.
