A recent study published in African Scientific Reports investigates how recurrent flooding influences the distribution of natural radionuclides in rice-growing soils and their transfer into rice grains in Hadejia, Jigawa State. Gamma-spectrometric analysis of paired soil and rice samples showed that overall radiological risks were low, with the annual effective dose from rice consumption estimated at 0.06 mSv per year, below the recommended public limit of 0.3 mSv per year. Potassium-40 showed the highest soil-to-rice transfer, followed by radium-226 and thorium-232, while spatial analysis revealed localized hotspots linked to flood-deposited sediments. The findings provide important baseline data and support continued monitoring to safeguard food safety in flood-prone agricultural communities.
