Abstract
Tectonic contribution of activity level of 238U in groundwater-based drinking water in Gosa and Lugbe areas of Abuja was measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). 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 daily consumption. The group receives 5.55× 10− 5 mSv of the annual collective effective dose due to 238U in drinking ...
