Assessment of the Background Radiation of Telecommunication Masts in Ebonyi State, Nigeria
TL;DR: In this article, the background radiation of ten selected mobile phone base stations was monitored to ascertain their radiological risk, and the results showed that the excess lifetime cancer risk for the stations' users was all above the 029 × 10-3 world recommended value and therefore suggests a possibility of the base station workers developing radiation-related illnesses over a longer time.

sources and effects of ionizing radiation
TL;DR: This annex is aimed at providing a sound basis for conclusions regarding the number of significant radiation accidents that have occurred, the corresponding levels of radiation exposures and numbers of deaths and injuries, and the general trends for various practices, in the context of the Committee's overall evaluations of the levels and effects of exposure to ionizing radiation.

Radionuclide concentrations in soil and lifetime cancer risk due to gamma radioactivity in Kirklareli, Turkey.
TL;DR: The average soil radionuclides' concentrations of Kirklareli were within the worldwide range although some extreme values had been determined, and annual effective gamma doses and the excess lifetime risks of cancer were higher than the world's average.
