Abstract
- part of monitoring the exposure of the Ghanaian public to natural radioactivity, radioactivity concentrations in titanium enamel frits use for coating, spraying and decorating steel bowls were investigated. Samples collected from Ghana Utensil Manufacturing Company in Ghana were analyzed using γ-ray spectrometry with a high purity germanium detector. The samples were found to contain an average absorbed dose rate of 509.38 nGy h, while an average annual effective dose was calculated to be 2.50 mSv. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
