This study was conducted to assess the radiological impacts of mining activities in mechanized and non-mechanized mining sites in order to build up database records for non-nuclear industries. Measurements of226Ra,226Th and40K in 50 soil samples collected from these sites were carried out using gamma spectrometry system. The investigations showed that the highest concentrations of these radionuclides...
This study shows the assessment of radiation hazard parameters due to terrestrial radionuclides in the soil around artisanal gold mining for addressing the issue of natural radioactivity in mining areas. Hence, the levels 238U, 232Th, 40K and 226Ra in soil (using gamma spectrometry), 222Rn in soil and 222Rn in air were determined. Radiation hazard parameters were then computed. These include absorbed...
