Abstract EN
Abstract The radiological assessment of rock samples from four quarry sites in Ibadan have been carried out.
The mean activity concentrations of 40K, 226Ra and 232Th were 377.0 ± 37.9, 17.7 ± 3.6 and 4.98 ± 2.1 Bq kg−1, respectively, for Ratcon Quarry (RQ); 408.0 ± 28.7, 16.6 ± 1.6 and 10.6 ± 2.3 Bq kg−1, respectively, for Dekit Quarry; 388.0 ± 26.6, 15.7 ± 1.9 and 9.85 ± 3.9 Bq kg−1, respectively, for Hajaig Quarry; and 388.084 ± 55.9, 16.2 ± 3.9 and 12.1 ± 3.8 Bq kg−1, respectively, for NSCE Quarry (NQ).
The highest mean outdoor effective dose of 0.038 ± 0.005 mSv y−1 and the minimum of 0.033 ± 0.004 mSv y−1 were obtained at NQ and RQ, respectively.
The radiological hazard indices recorded in each site were <1.0.
The results show lower radioactivity levels than the world average values; therefore, no serious radiological health effect is expected when the crushed rocks from the quarries are used for buildings construction.
