Description
Terrestrial gamma radiation dose rates of Dangote cement industry Ibese Ogun state were measured using Digilert200. The mean outdoor terrestrial gamma dose rate is 137.16nGy/h with a range of 104.4nGy/h to 159.6nGy/h. Also, the annual effective dose ranged from 0.1600mSv/y to 0.2446mSv/y with a mean value of 0.210mSv/y. This value of mean annual effective dose of 0.210mSv/y is well below 1mSv/y maximum permissible limit for the public, set by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). This indicate that the people living and working within the area are safe and are not exposed to high doses of radiation as a result of activities in the industry.
