    abstract = {In this study, the measurement of industrial ionizing radiation background was reported in Port Harcourt, Nigeria taking the western Geophysical Industry as a case study. The Geiger Muller Counter and its associated sensors were used to obtain counts of radiation at intervals of 10 min for about 1 h at each site. Count rates for the three chosen locations were 26.98&plusmn;0.64, 37.19&plusmn;1.06 and 35.40&plusmn;1.95 cpm, respectively. The corresponding dose rates were 8.42&plusmn;0.34, 11.60&plusmn;0.28 and 11.04&plusmn;0.30 &#956;Rh<SUP>-1</SUP>. These values were found to be below the maximum permissible rate of 57 &#956;Rh<SUP>-1</SUP> accepted internationally by the National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP).}
