dc.description.abstractHuman beings are exposed to background radiation in their environment and their exposure to this radiation is unpreventable. Assessment was conducted for determination of the amount of background radiation level of some selected populated areas within Suleja Niger State. This was carried out using RDS-200 universal survey meter the assessment was done on thirty (30) different locations where three (3) readings were taken in each of the thirty (30) areas in order to obtain a reliable data the value of the annual dose rates of the areas ranges from 0.54 mSv/yr to 0.96mSv/yr. The radiation level in all of the 30 areas were found to be within the save limit as compared with the world average radiation limit of 1msV/yr and as set by ICRP. From the result obtained, it was found that those living within the areas are saved from radiation hazard.en_US
