Abstract

Background: The annual effective Dose equivalent (AEDE) due to Ionizing radiation in a coaster area in Nigerian has been determined using Geiger-Muller Counter. Materials and Methods: isolevels in the study area were represented by using the kriging interpolation technique on ArcGIS 10. 1 software. Duncan multiple range test was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: The results obtained show that the AEDE ranged from 0. 19± 0. 01 to 0. 35± 0. 02 mSv y-1 with a mean of 0. 27± 0. 03 mSv y-1. The excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) ranged from 0. 0007 to 0. 0012, with a mean of 0. 0010. The total annual collective effective Dose equivalent is 4839. 49 person-Sv. Conclusion: The AEDE in the study area is lower than the maximum permissible limit of 1 mSv y-1 recommended by ICRP. The AEDE was higher in areas of high elevations than those of low elevations. It was estimated that about twenty-eight (28) of every one hundred thousand (100, 000) persons are at risk of developing radiation-induced diseases per annum in the study area.
