This book describes and outlines exposure scenarios of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation 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 from an African perspective.

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.
