| Abstract: | Certain types of building materials are known to be radioactive. Exposure to indoor ionizing radiation like
exposure to any other type of ionizing radiation results in critical health challenges. An evaluation of the
background ionizing radiation profile
Plateau State Specialist Hospital, and their immediate neighbourhood were carried out. These hospitals also
harbour a number of active radiation sources. The radiation levels were measure
GS2 with serial number A20). The radiation levels were: 2.063 mSv/yr for Skane Radiodiagnositic Centre indoor
result and outdoor result was 1.848mSv/yr. For
outdoor result was 2.002mSv/y |
