Kolawole E. Adesina works on environmental radioactivity and heavy-metal contamination, measuring radiation and toxic elements in materials like welding electrodes, soils, rice, and cement-factory surroundings to assess health risks to nearby populations. Recent work also branches into nanomaterials for medical uses, such as antimicrobial/anticancer nanoparticles and dental materials, and reviews of plasma-based sterilization technology. Much of this research focuses on Nigerian environmental and industrial settings.
