“…Both laboratory and in-situ gamma spectroscopy are often used for monitoring and assessment of radioactivity and radiation dose rates in the environment due to both natural and anthropogenic sources [15][16][17][18][19][20] . In-situ techniques for measuring the activity concentration resulting from the gamma radiation and characterizing its sources with gamma ray spectrometer have been used successfully in outdoor and indoor environment [12,[21][22][23] . The presence of naturally occurring radionuclides in the environment may result in an external and internal dose received by a population exposed to them directly and through the ingestion and inhalation pathways.…”

“…However, there have been few specific studies related to radionuclides and heavy metals assessment from uranium mining areas in China, especially around prospective uranium mining areas. A pre-mining study on radiation levels and heavy metals around uranium mining areas could establish a baseline database on the environmental radiation levels and become an essential reference guide for the future [17]. The aim of this study was to establish the radioactive materials and heavy metals contents from the surface soil around the Bayanwula uranium pre-mining area in China due to the lack of published environmental data, to assess the radiation and heavy metals risk for local residents, and to investigate the correlations between the radionuclides and heavy metals.…”
