“…The location with high values implies high radiological risk which might occur, though gradually over the entire lifetime of the exposed population. Such risk involves radiation-induced cancer or development of heritable effects at some time in life(ICRP, 2007;Olatunji et al, 2022). Generally, the estimated values of the radiation risks and dose obtained in this study were lower than the permissive values set by international bodies (e.g.…”

“…However, high concentrations of radioactive elements might change the biosphere's natural ecosystem, offering serious risks to those who are exposed. The two main methods of exposure to radionuclides are external exposure from radionuclides in soils and internal exposure from eating plants grown in such farmland soil and/or inadvertent ingestion during cultivation of the farmland soil (UNSCEAR, 2008; Kakati et al, 2013;Kpeglo et al 2011;Özdiş et al, 2017;Olatunji et al, 2022). The safety of lives against potential hazards ensuing from exposure to the radionuclides requires proper understanding of their concentrations, migration within the soil and in uential knowledge of factors responsible for the entire dynamics within the soil (Adebiyi et al, 2021;Geras'kin, 2016).…”
