AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The dataset for this article contains the measured activity concentration of radionuclides and gamma-radiation dose rate obtained from the radiometric survey in Ota, Ado-Odo Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria. The data were manually collected in fifty (50) locations using the Super SPEC RS-125 spectrometer for about three (3) weeks in January, 2017. The descriptive statistical analysis of the data were equally explored for possible statistical relationships. The field dataset is made available publicly for further extended analyses that can provide insights into the safety status of the study area from radiological health concerns. The dataset could also serve as a significant baseline radiometric data for future epidemiology researches and monitoring initiative in Ota and its environs.

The largest negative carbon-isotope excursion in geological history has been reported by several studies of the upper Doushantuo Formation of South China, which has been correlated to the middle Ediacaran-Shuram excursion (SE). Due to a scarcity of radiometric age constraints on the excursion in South China, however, global correlations and comparisons of this event remain a debate. Here, we present Re-Os and carbon isotope data on organic-rich sediments obtained from a drill-core sample in the Chengkou area, the northeastern margin of the Yangtze Platform, and South China.

The utilization of satellite images in conservation research is becoming more prevalent due to advancements in remote sensing technologies. To achieve accurate classification of wildlife habitats, it is important to consider the different capabilities of spectral and spatial resolution. Our study aimed to develop a method for accurately classifying habitat types of the Himalayan ibex (Capra sibirica) using satellite data.

Information regarding the radiation risk posed by radioactive emissions from the petrologic units in North eastern Nigeria is extremely limited. Consequently, there has been little research conducted on the environmental impact of radiation exposure from different petrologic units in this region. Hence, the 13 petrologic components of the area that comprises of the migmatites-gneiss (MG), banded gneiss (BG), biotite-hornblende granites (OGe), porphyritic biotite-hornblende granites (OGp), charnockytes (Ch), ignimbrites (JYG), basalts (bb), Keri-Keri Formation (KK), Gombe Sandstones (GS), Pindiga Formation (PS), Yolde Formation (YL), Bima Sandstones (BS), and alluvium (AL) deposits were assessed using aero-radiometric data (equivalent uranium, equivalent thorium, and percentage potassium radio-elements) acquired by Nigerian geological survey agency (NGSA) in 2009.

Background: This paper presents a novel approach to predict and map radon and thoron levels. We developed separate radon and thoron prediction maps for Ireland and introduced a system for producing high-resolution 3D radiation maps which may be used for planning purposes in residential areas, recycling and demolishing waste depots, and quarries of building and construction material. Additionally, we highlight the critical need to monitor thoron alongside radon in indoor surveys, as thoron's shorter half-life and higher energy levels may pose a greater health risk.
