Abstract

This study concerns the health risk assessments of Kaolin dust from a Kaolin milling plant in Alkaleri, Bauchi State. The aim is to determine the concentration of elements and the health risk assessments of heavy metals in the Kaolin dust from a Kaolin milling plant. The Kaolin dust samples were collected in the milling plant by spreading a plastic sheet on a surface of about 2 m above the ground level. The elemental analysis of the Kaolin dust was carried out using Neutron Activation Analysis...............................................................................
