Abstract

An external background radiation study was carried out in Niger Delta University. The study was carried out on 20 different brand of photocopiers in 4 different locations, using a Digilert nuclear Radiation meter to capture the radiation level of these machines and a Geographical Positioning System (G.P.S) to capture Geographical coordinates of the machines’ locations. The analysis of the study reveals that 60% of the sampled photocopying machines’ external background radiation levels are above the standard radiation level of 0.013mR/hr. Indicating a high measure of radiation health hazard in the study location.
