Abstract

In this study, the indoor and outdoor background ionizing radiation exposure levels in two of the Campuses of Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa, Ondo State, Nigeria, were assessed using a GQ GMC-500 digital Geiger Muller Counter. The indoor and outdoor background ionizing radiation exposure levels were used to determine indoor annual effective dose rate (IAEDR) and outdoor annual effective dose rate (OAEDR), which were the radiological health impact on the studied area's residents' environment. The results of this study's mean indoor and outdoor annual effective dose rates were lower than the worldwide average dose of 2.4 mSvyr⁻¹. The results showed that the study areas are radiologically safe due to the insignificant health risk of background ionizing radiation in the study areas.
