Abstract
100 words
This research aims to determine the level of uranium (U)
contamination in selected agricultural soils of Bahi District and
its uptake by food crops for its proper management. The research
will involve determination of spatial distribution of uranium in
agricultural soils, its uptake and translocation in plant/crop
tissues. In addition, it will involve determination of uranium level
in surface and ground water used for drinking and irrigation.
The results from this study will be used to create awareness
among the famers and other surrounding community about
potential risk posed by uranium and its compounds on their lives
and the environment.
