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 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal and vertical characterization of radionuclides and minerals in river sediments
TL;DR: Analysis of sediment samples of Ponnaiyar River suggests that the kaolinite is the major mineral to increase the level of radioactivity in the river sediments.
