摘要：The aim of this research work is to Survey of gross alpha and beta radioactivity in ground water from Maiyama LGAs of kebbistste, Nigeria. Twenty four (24) samples were drawn by means of stratified random sampling from locally dug-wells in the surveyed area and were analyzed using the Eurysis-eight channel gas filled proportional counter. The result obtained from the proportional counter show that the range of alpha activity varied from 0.01Bq/L to 3.40Bq/L with geometric mean of 1.705Bq/L and range of beta activity varied from 0.52Bq/L to 20.52Bq/L with geometric mean of 10.52Bq/L. Therefore, some samples show the higher concentration is above the limit set by WHO of value 0.55Bq/L guideline for alpha activity and 1.00Bq/L for beta activity, quite a reasonable number does not meet the WHO standard.
