ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON WOMEN OF CHILDREN BEARING AGE( CASE STUDY OF ATISBO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, OYO STATE)
Abstract
This study details the assessment of radionuclide transfer factor from soil to vegetable in Odeda LGA, Abeokuta, Ogun state. The activity concentrations of the radionuclides ( 40K, 226Ra and 232Th) in the samples, were obtained using NaI(Tl) detector. Four (4) samples of soils and vegetables were collected. A total of Eight (8) samples were collected from four different farms and the mean activity concentration in the soils ranged from 364.885Bq/kg for 40K, 75.955Bq/kg for 226Ra, and 149.991Bq/kg for 232Th for the soils; while for the vegetable samples the mean values were 1037.389 Bqkg-1 for 40K, 78.328 Bqkg-1 for ²²⁶Ra, 245.776 Bqkg-1 for 232Th. The total annual effective rate (Svyr-1) ranged from 1878.7 to 5615.4 (Svyr-1) with a mean average of 3964.5 (Svyr-1). All the values obtained were significantly higher than the limits specified by UNSCEAR 2000.
