Description
This book describes and outlines exposure scenarios of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation exposure in occupational and residential settings within the African continent where technological developments and mining activities are the main sources of radiation exposure. To better understand these exposure scenarios, this book focusses on all exposure aspects of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in an African continent. Covers occupational and residential exposure to ionizing radiation emanating from mining activities, particularly from an African continent Explores exposure to radon and uranium from abundant mines and tailings Reviews non-Ionizing radiation exposure assessments for communication and power sources Discusses health effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation among the general public Examines health effects in exposure in mining, electric utility and communication device operations This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in bioengineering and environmental health, and radiobiology.
