Assessment of background ionizing radiation dose levels in quarry sites located in Ebonyi State, Nigeria
E.O. Echeweozo,F.O. Ugbede +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a radiometric survey of background ionizing radiation (BIR) dose levels in ten quarry sites located in Ebonyi State, Nigeria and obtained results indicated dose rates ranging from from 0.14 to 0.18 μSv/h with mean of 0.15±0.01 μSV/h at the excavation section (ES) and quarrying section (QS) of the investigated quarry sites.

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.
