This book describes and outlines exposure scenarios of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation exposure in occupational and residential settings within the African continent where technological developments and mining activities are the main sources of radiation exposure. To better understand these exposure scenarios, this book focusses on all exposure aspects of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in an African continent.

Covers occupational and residential exposure to ionizing radiation emanating from mining activities, particularly from an African continent Explores exposure to radon and uranium from abundant mines and tailings Reviews non-Ionizing radiation exposure assessments for communication and power sources Discusses health effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation among the general public Examines health effects in exposure in mining, electric utility and communication device operations

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in bioengineering and environmental health, and radiobiology.

Phoka Caiphus Rathebe is an emerging scientist and an NRF Y-rated scholar with a strong research focus on environmental and occupational health, and radiation exposure assessments. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Johannesburg. Prof. Rathebe holds multiple academic qualifications in Environmental Health from the Central University of Technology, Free State, including a National Diploma (cum laude, 2013), a B.Tech (cum laude, 2014), a Master of Health Sciences (cum laude, 2017), and a PhD (2021). His expertise extends beyond academia, as he actively reviews environmental and occupational health manuscripts for international peer-reviewed journals, IOP and IEEE conferences. As a dedicated researcher and supervisor, Rathebe mentors postgraduate students working on projects in occupational and environmental health. Since 2018, he has published over 60 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, contributing valuable insights to the field. His work continues to shape the discourse on radiation exposure and public health, particularly within the African context.
