Elevated radium levels in Nubian Aquifer groundwater of Northeastern Africa
Abstract The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System in Northeast Africa and the Middle East is a huge water resource of inestimable value to the population. However, natural radioactivity impairs groundwater quality throughout the aquifer posing a radiological health risk to millions of people. Here we pre...
