Measurement Of Radioactivity Concentration Of Some Basic Food In Nigeria:- Idika Chinedu O
ABSTRACT
Radioactivity has posed a threat to the health
effects on human activity due to its spontaneous emission of ionizing radiation
as a consequence of nuclear reaction. Food consumption has become contaminated
with radioactive materials from artificial applications during routine system
or farming (agricultural) system. The knowledge of radioactivity levels in
human diet is of particular concern for the estimation of possible radiological
hazards to human health. In this study, it aimed at evaluating and measuring
the radioactivity concentration or radioactive contaminants in some basic food
consumed in south eastern part ofNigeria. This study is carried out to compare
the measurement of radioactivity concentration in some basic food and
some required doses considered, and has found a bit increase in
concentration of 226R and 232Th and a rapid increase in 40K.There are
therefore, possible radiological health risks to human on longterm consumption
ofthis foods.
