Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials and Their Effects in The Environment - A review.

It is with pleasure that I write to share with you about our first research publication that has been recently published in an international journal - Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research (JETIR). 

The title of the paper is Naturally Occuring Radioactive Materials(NORMs) and Their Effects in The Environment. NORMs are materials that are radioactive and radiologically harzadous to mankind and environment.  

The paper was an effort towards a sustainable environment to achieve Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG - 11); according to the United Nations 2030 SDGs agenda.

Find the abstract of the paper below; 

Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) is a term given to elements that are naturally radioactive and radiologically hazardous to mankind and environment. This paper reviewed the chemistry of NORMs and their effects on the environment. The study showed that naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials are hazardous, and the long-term health implications on living things and the environment at large are reported. This calls for appropriate care by all, in order to ensure that healthy environment is maintained. The ways by which these NORMs’s hazardous effects on the environment can be minimized or controlled are also briefly highlighted.
