This work on the radioactivity level at Iloabuchi Electronics Markets and Workshops in Diobu Port Harcourt was carried out using global positioning system (GPS) and nuclear radiation meter GMC 300E model. The result obtained from the radioactivity level shows that the mean exposure rate ranged from 0.010 – 0.0205 mR/h with mean of 0.015 mF/h. Again, the computed equivalent Dose showed it ranged from 0.8410 – 1.7236 mSvy-1 with mean of 0.158 mSvy-1. Finally, the ELCR ranged from 0.373 – 0.7650 x 10-3 with mean of 0.5749 x 10-3. These results obtained were higher than world average values; hence cancer could be noticed in due course. There should be awareness on the danger of radiation pollution and its implication communicated to the residents and traders. Finally, environmental monitoring from time to time should be encouraged as we employ NNRA, and be pro-active in carrying public awareness in radiation.
Maduabuchi et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
