THE ADEQUACY OF THE SHIELDING MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED AT SELECTED X-RAY CENTERS IN IBADAN

X-rays play a vital role in medical diagnosis and therapy. Exposure to radiation can however cause a variety of biological mutations. The effects of exposure to radiation could be as severe as leading to rapid death when the whole body is irradiated with large doses. They could also be so minimal and almost negligible for a variable period of time after low doses until delayed effects of radiation manifests in a group of the exposed individuals. As a result, x-rays pose a threat to the safety...

Developing and Validating of Predictive Model for Radiofrequency Radiation Emission Within the Vicinity of Fm Stations in Ghana.

ABSTRACT  The rapid growing number of FM stations with their corresponding antennas have led to an increase in the concern of the potential health risks that may arise as a result of exposure to RF radiations. The main objective of this research was to develop and validate a predictive model with real time measured data for FM antennas in Ghana. Theoretical and experimental assessment of radiofrequency emission due to FM antennas has been analysed. The maximum and minimum electric field spat...
