Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzes levels of natural radioactive elements in coastal sediments of the Republic of Congo, using high-resolution gamma spectrometry to measure radionuclide activities from five different sites.
- - Results indicated that radiation levels were similar to those found in neighboring countries, with variations observed between sites and sampling points, but all values remained within global average limits, suggesting minimal human impact on the environment.
- - The research assessed radiological hazards and applied the ERICA tool to evaluate radiation exposure risks to humans and wildlife, providing valuable data for future monitoring and contributing to the global database on marine radioactivity.
The Sidi Moussa lagoon, located in western coastal Morocco and ranked as a wetland of biological and ecological importance (Ramsar site), is contaminated due to its proximity to the industrial phosphate plants and other anthropogenic activities around it. This study was carried out to assess the current environmental state of the lagoon as well as historical inputs of pollutants over several decades. Three sediment cores were collected and analyzed for the determination radionuclide activities (Pb, Ra, U and Cs) by gamma spectrometry and element concentrations by Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry.
