Article Synopsis
- - Soil samples from agricultural areas near Addis Ababa were tested for radioactivity levels, specifically measuring the concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K using gamma spectrometry with a high-purity germanium detector.
- - The average concentrations found were 32.8 ± 2.1 Bq kg-1 for 226Ra, 62.4 ± 4.4 Bq kg-1 for 232Th, and 544.3 ± 23.3 Bq kg-1 for 40K, with 232Th and 40K being higher than global averages, while 226Ra was comparable.
- - Various radiological hazard indices were calculated and
The study assessed the concentration of natural radionuclides in soil samples from the Bambasi district in Ethiopia's Benishangul Gumuz region using a gamma-ray spectrometer equipped with a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The measured activity concentrations of U, Th, and K in soil samples varied from 46.2 ± 2.
