MEASUREMENT OF BACK GROUND IONIZING RADIATION IN OTUOKE MARKET AND ENVIRONS
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Human exposure to ionizing radiation from natural sources is an unavoidable reality. This study
Aimed to measure the background ionizing radiation (BIR) levels in Otuoke Market and its
Surrounding areas, using he alert200 radiation monitor. The radiation exposure rates were
Measured at various locations within the market, yielding values ranging from 0.00940.001 to 0.014-0.002 mR/h, with a mean value of 0.012=0.001 mR/h. This average value is slightly below
The recommended safe limit of 0.013 mR/h.
