“…Natural background gamma radiation levels in and around Loktak Lake of Manipur, India, and radioactive contamination level due to terrestrial gamma radiation were measured using NaI (Tl) scintillator-based Micro-R-survey meter and high-purity germanium detector. [18] The averaged values of radioactivity concentrations of 226 Ra, 232 Th, and 40 K were reported as 74.6, 112.1, and 792.9 Bq/kg, respectively, and the average value of the annual effective dose in this study was 0.7 ± 0.1 mSv/y, which is higher than the world average value of about 0.4 mS/y reported by UNSCEAR, 2000 [10].…”

“…Soil samples of most studies on radioactivity are collected and crushed into small sizes [16][17][18][19]. The soil samples are then treated in a hot air oven at 110°C for 24 hr or a suitable temperature and duration.…”

“…falls under internal radiation. 2,3 Dose contributed by external gamma radiation is around 10% of the total dose received by the population. External radiation exposure arises from terrestrial radionuclides present in trace levels in all soils and its level is related to the type of rock from which the soils are originated.…”
