Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleACCUMULATION OF RADIONUCLIDES BY PYLAISIELLA MOSS (PYLAISIA POLYANTHA) UNDER URBOECOSYSTEM CONDITIONST. V. Varduni, T. M. Minkina, E. A. Buraeva et al.Contamination of environment by radionuclides in territories under urboecosystem conditions is actual problem. The search of new express methods for radioactivity determination of environment is important task of research. In present work it was shown that mosses are bioindicators of radioactive contamination, because they accumulate radioactive substances in high concentrations. Using of bryoindication methods are promising techniques for the assessment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 1 Dec 2014 · 6,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleForest Fires and Resuspension of Radionuclides into the AtmosphereFernando P. Carvalho, Joao M. Oliveira, Margarida MaltaProblem statement: Forest fires are especially frequent around the Mediterranean Sea basin in the summer period and might be able to release naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides from plant biomass and inject them into the atmosphere. The impact of this radioactivity on populations was not investigated before. Approach: Radionuclide analysis was performed in plants, in smoke from plant burning and in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,362 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVertical Profile of C, N, P, K and Radionuclides in Soil Collected from Highland Tea Plantation AreasZaini Hamzah, Seh Datul Riduan, Ahmad SaatProblem statement: Cameron Highlands is a well known agricultural area in Peninsular Malaysia. Long term usage of fertilizer has caused accumulation of major elemental component in the soil. This accumulation will cause enrichment of the nutrient in the catchment located at downstream of the river through runoff. Approach: Two tea plantations on the upstream with hilly condition plantation were selected … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,513 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiochemical Indicators and Nutritional Value of Horsemeat Infected by Parascaridosis and Sampled from the Surrounding Areas of Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site, KazakhstanShyngys Suleimenov, Sergazy Duyssembaev, Ainur Serikova et al.Due to high prevalence of the Parascaris equorum among horses, the effect of Paracardiosis infestation on nutritional and biological values of meat is required. In an effort to analyze the radionuclides contents, biochemical parameters and biological value of horsemeat collected from different areas of Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNTS) of Kazakhstan. The prevalence of parascaridosis was performed following standard protocols. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2021 · 6,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRadiological Risks Assessment of Ogun State Drinking WaterJustina Ada Achuka, Usikalu Mojisola Rachael, Oyeyemi Kehinde DavidThe presence of radionuclides in water constitute health risk to man. The consumption of such water increases the likelihood of incurring cancer. Analysis will enhance the detection of significant radionuclides causing harm to the populace and stimulate remediation. This inferred the radioactivity measurements of twenty (20) well water samples from three industrial cities of Ogun State using Hyper Pure Germanium … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 5 · 18 May 2017 · 7,790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermination of Absorbed and Effective Dose from Natural Background Radiation around a Nuclear Research FacilityMuhammad Auwal Musa, Idris Isa Funtua, Simon Peter Malam, Abdullahi Suleiman ArabiProblem statement: This study presents result of outdoor absorbed dose rate and estimated effective dose from the naturally occurring radionuclides 232Th and 238U series 40K, around a Nuclear Research Reactor at the Centre for Energy Research and Training (CERT), Zaria, Nigeria. Approach: A high-resolution in situ γ-ray spectrometry was used to carry out the study. CERT houses a 30Kw Research … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite

OluseyeProblem statement: The natural radioactivity levels in the soils of Ogun-Osun River Basins Development Authority Headquarters, (O-ORBDA HQ) Abeokuta, South-Western part of Nigeria were measured. Approach: (O-ORBDA HQ) is a parastatal of Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Rural Development in Nigeria charged with the responsibility for the development and management of the water resources in its area of coverage. … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2010 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiffusion of Radioactive Materials in the AtmosphereAbdul-Wali Ajlouni, Manal Abdelsalam, Hussam Al-Rabai’ah, Abdullah M.S. AjlouniProblem statement: The dispersion of radioactive materials in the environment related to escaping of noble gases, halogens and aerosols of non-volatile radioactive materials, from the reactor containment during normal operations, or in the event of a sever reactor accident. Approach: radionuclide dispersion in the environment is demonstrated by mathematical tools which are the partial differential equations, mainly the diffusion equation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Radiological Impacts of Phosphate Fertilizers Brands used in Southeast, NigeriaKenneth K. Agwu, Mark C. Okeji, Paschal TchokossaThe radionuclides present in phosphate fertilizers used in Southeast Nigeria were identified and their activity concentration determined to assess the potential radiological impact on the environment due to fertilizer applications in agricultural farm lands. The radioactivity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the fertilizer samples range from 13.22±1.83 to 87.37±8.98 Bqkg-1 for 226Ra (mean: 31.71±5.4 Bqkg-1), 0.78±0.07 to 47.65±6.05 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 12 May 2017 · 7,482 accessesView PDFCite
