Occupational radiation exposure in Ghana

A summary is given of the occupational radiation exposure in Ghana. In the light of this the distribution of occupationally exposed workers by sex and the operating institutions among the ten regions in the country is presented. Particular occupational groups, which consistently give rise to high average annual and collective effective doses, are identified. Data on the monitored groups of individuals have been examined in an attempt to predict the likely values of lifetime doses to which occupationally exposed workers may be subjected.
