Evaluation of excessive lifetime cancer risk due to natural radioactivity in the rivers sediments of Northern Pakistan
TL;DR: In this paper, naturally occurring radionuclides were measured using HPGe γ-ray spectrometer to evaluate the radiation health hazard indices and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR ).

Estimation of excess lifetime cancer risk and radiation hazard indices in southern Iraq
TL;DR: In this paper, the average activity concentrations of some radionuclides (226Ra, 238U, 232Th, and 40K) have been measured in surface and subsurface soils in areas (southern Iraq) where many warfare actions have taken place during the Iran-Iraq and Gulf wars.

Assessment of excess lifetime cancer risk from gamma radiation levels in Effurun and Warri city of Delta state, Nigeria
TL;DR: A study of the terrestrial BIR levels to estimate the excess lifetime cancer risk in Warri city has been carried out, using a Digilert 100 nuclear radiation monitor and a GPS for GIS mapping as mentioned in this paper.

Dose rate estimates and spatial interpolation maps of outdoor gamma dose rate with geostatistical methods; A case study from Artvin, Turkey.
TL;DR: This study compared compliance of geostatistical estimation methods to ensure investigation and imaging natural Fon radiation using the minimum number of data and illustrated that local changes are better reflected by UK method compared to OK method and its error variance is found to be lower.

Population dose due to building materials in Ibadan, Nigeria.
I. P. Farai,J. A. Ademola +1 more
TL;DR: The natural radionuclide contents of some concrete building blocks randomly sampled in the city of Ibadan have been determined using NaI(Tl) gamma ray spectrometry and the mean value of the external hazard index was found to be 0.41 which implies that the building blocks used in the town are within the acceptable level of radioactivity.
