摘要

本研究调查了尼日利亚埃邦伊州当地加工和工业精制盐样品中226Ra、232Th和40K的放射性水平。结果表明，与工业精制盐相比，本地加工盐中的放射性核素活性浓度更高。因此，当地加工盐比精制盐表现出更高的辐射剂量（吸收剂量率、年有效剂量率和年性腺剂量当量）。这些发现强调了食用当地加工盐的潜在辐射影响，并强调了对当地盐业工人采取辐射防护措施的必要性。

Assessment of radiation hazard from radioactive elements 226Ra, 232Th, 40K in locally and industrially refined salt for consumption in Nigeria

This study investigated the radioactivity levels of ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K in locally processed and industrially refined salt samples from Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Results showed higher activity concentrations of radionuclides in locally processed salt compared to the industrially refined salt. Consequently, locally processed salt exhibited higher radiation doses (absorbed dose rate, annual effective dose rate, and annual gonadal dose equivalent) than refined salt. These findings highlight the potential radiological impact of consuming locally processed salt and emphasize the need for radiation protection measures for workers in the local salt industry.
