Natural radioactivity in coastaline area soil of Ado-Odo/Ota has been carried out to ascertain the presence of radionuclides using gamma-ray spectroscopy (HPGe detector). The result showed that U-238, Th-232 and K-40 ranged from 24 ± 7-49 ± 10; 67 ± 6-120 ± 9 and 88 ± 17-139 ± 20 Bqkg<sup>-1</sup> respectively. The radium equivalent for the samples ranged from 132.51 to 230.91 Bqkg<sup>-1</sup> with mean value of 185.89 Bqkg<sup>-1</sup>. The mean value for the gamma dose rate for the soil sampl ...[more]
