摘要：This research work investigated the speculated presence of radionuclides believed to be the cause of raise in cancer demography in Kebbi State, Nigeria. Gamma ray spectrometer was used to interrogate the samples collected from the field. The result of the activity concentrations of the radionuclides; 238U, 232Th and 40K show thatthe ranges of the activity concentration were found to be 28.7+1.3 Bq/kg to 63.3+5.1 Bq/kg, 11.3+2.5 Bq/kg to 21.2+2.1 Bq/kg and 171.7+6.3 Bq/kg to 346.1+16.3 Bq/kg respectively. The minimum activity concentrations for (238U, 232Th and 40K) were found in A, B and B respectively while the maximum values were both found in E. The values of 238U Bq/kg in B, C and E are greater than the world wide average while that of both 232Th Bq/kg and 40K Bq/kg from A to E are less than the world wide average.Both internal hazard index and external hazard index are below the permissible health hazard index value of 6.0.
