ABSTRACT
Radioactive radiation level was detected for five samples of vegetable leaves namely: Water leaf, Fluted Pumpkin, Editan Lasientera africana and Afang Gnetum africanum. These vegetable leaves were collected from Uyo (interland region) and Ibeno (coastal region) in Akwa Ibom. Radioactivity level in each of these samples were measured and recorded. In Uyo waterleaf has the least radioactive level of 0.00079Bq/g while Editan has the highest level of 0.0019Bq/g. In Ibeno, fluted pumpkin has the least level of 0.0037Bq/g while waterleaf records the highest radioactive level 0.0070Bq/g. The higher radioactive level observed in Ibeno is attributed to the presence of radioactive materials in the environment due to oil drilling......
