Evaluation of Health Risks from Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation in Some Oil Spilled Communities of Rivers State, Nigeria
TL;DR: The estimated excess lifetime cancer risk values indicates that the chance of contracting cancer for residents of the study is low, the effective dose from present exposure rate to the adult organs investigated is insignificant and the risk from exposure to low levels of background ionizing radiation is insignificant.

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.
