Primordial radionuclides in the dust samples from the educational institutions of central Bangladesh: radiological risk assessment

Indexical and statistical approaches to investigate the integrated origins of elements in the sediment of Teesta River, Bangladesh: sediment quality and ecological risk assessment

“…7 Elemental abundances of control samples (IAEA-Soil-7 and IAEA-SL-1) from this analysis were consistent with those of certificate values within the analytical uncertainties, and the reproducibility of the measurements ( n = 3) were within 10% (Table 2). 2,93,94…”

Elevated levels of environmental radioactivity in fluvial sediment: origin and health risk assessment

“…One of the most signicant geo-environmental issues receiving more and more worldwide attention is the potential harm to humans from the ionizing radiation and affiliated risks posed by naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs: 226 Ra, 232 Th, 40 K). [1][2][3][4] Primordial natural radioactivity is still considerable and observed in various lithologies (e.g., rock formations, sedimentary deposits, and mineral deposits) at varying concentrations related to the geochemical properties of a region. 5 Studying the NORM concentration in geographic specimens and related radioactive contamination is critically vital since NORMs can cause severe radiometric risks to human health, such as lung disease, kidney damage, bone deformities, and renal disease.…”

Metal(loid)s in tap-water from schools in central Bangladesh (Mirpur): Source apportionment, water quality, and health risks appraisals

“…Dhaka is a highly populated (23,234 people/km 2 ) [ [31] , [32] , [33] ] megacity of Bangladesh, and about 95% population of Dhaka depends on tap water from various sources for their daily household work and other essential purposes [ 34 ]. Mirpur is one of the densely populated parts of this megacity where the number of educational institutions is also very high.…”
