A. Faanu,O. K. Adukpo,L. Tettey-Larbi,H. Lawluvi,D. O. Kpeglo,Emmanuel Ofori Darko,G. Emi-Reynolds,R. A. Awudu,C. Kansaana,P. A. Amoah,A. O. Efa,A. Ibrahim,B. Agyeman,R. Kpodzro,L. Agyeman +14 more
TL;DR: The results obtained in this study shows that the radiation levels are within the natural background radiation levels found in literature and compare well with similar studies for other countries and the total annual effective dose is below the ICRP recommended level of 1 mSv for public exposure control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary studies on 226Ra, 228Ra, 228Th and 40K concentrations in foodstuffs consumed by inhabitants of Accra metropolitan area, Ghana
A. R. Awudu,A. Faanu,Emmanuel Ofori Darko,G. Emi-Reynolds,O.K. Adukpo,D. O. Kpeglo,F. Otoo,H. Lawluvi,R. Kpodzro,I. D. Ali,M. K. Obeng,B. Agyeman +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the radionuclide levels in the foodstuffs were measured using gamma ray spectrometry and found to be high 40K content in the range 87.77-368.50 Bq kg−1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and artificial radioactivity distribution in soil, rock and water of the Central Ashanti Gold Mine, Ghana
A. Faanu,D. O. Kpeglo,M. Sackey,Emmanuel Ofori Darko,G. Emi-Reynolds,H. Lawluvi,R. A. Awudu,O. K. Adukpo,C. Kansaana,I. D. Ali,B. Agyeman,L. Agyeman,R. Kpodzro +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a direct gamma spectrometry study was carried out within and around the operational area of the Central Ashanti Gold of Ghana to ascertain the baseline radioactivity levels of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM), prior to processing of gold ore at the mine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of natural and anthropogenic radioactivity levels in soils, rocks and water in the vicinity of Chirano Gold Mine in Ghana
A. Faanu,H. Lawluvi,D. O. Kpeglo,Emmanuel Ofori Darko,G. Emi-Reynolds,A. R. Awudu,O. K. Adukpo,C. Kansaana,I. D. Ali,B. Agyeman,L. Agyeman,R. Kpodzro +11 more
TL;DR: The results obtained in this study show that radiation levels are within the natural background radiation levels found in the literature and compare well with those of similar studies for other countries including Ghana.
