Tectonic and radioactivity impacts of 238U on groundwater-based drinking water at Gosa and Lugbe areas of Abuja, North Central Nigeria
Tectonic contribution of activity level of 238U in groundwater based drinking water in Gosa and
Lugbe area of Abuja were measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS).
The highest activity level of 2736 μBq L-1 reported in Lugbe borehole whereas the lowest
value of 443 μBq L‒1 reported at Gosa borehole. The inhabitants permanently used water from
the boreholes for...
