Exposure to radiation from the natural radioactivity in Jordanian building materials.
The natural radioactivity due to the presence of (226)Ra, (232)Th and (40)K in selected building materials used in Jordanian building constructions has been measured using gamma-ray spectrometer with a Hyper Pure germanium detector. The average activity concentrations observed in different building materials ranged from 27.7 +/- 7.5 to 70.4 +/- 2.8, 5.9 +/- 0.67 to 32.9 +/- 3.9 and 30.8 +/- 0.8...
متن کاملEstimating radiation dose from building materials
Background: Natural radioactivity in materials under certain conditions can reach the hazardous radiological levels. So, it becomes necessary to study the natural radioactivity in different materials to assess the dose for the population in order to know the health risks and to have a baseline for future changes in the environmental radioactivity due to human activities. Materials and ...
متن کاملnatural radioactivity of granites used as building materials in iran
the radionuclides 226ra, 232th and 40k concentrations measured as well as radiological parameters, for 14 granite samples that use in iran as building material were calculated. the measurements of the radioactivity concentrations were carried out at nuclear physics laboratory university of tabriz. this subject is important in environmental radiological protection, since granites are extensively...
متن کاملAssessment of Natural Radioactivity and Associated Radiation Hazards in Some Building Materials Used in Kilpenathur, Tiruvannamalai Dist, Tamilnadu, India
The present study aimed to measure the activity concentration of natural radionuclides in the locally used building materials from Kilpenthaur, Tiruvannmalai Dist, Tamilnadu, India was investigated with an aim of evaluating the radiation hazard arising due to the use of these materials in the construction of dwellings. The concentrations of natural radionuclides Ra, Th and K in four types of bu...
متن کاملA Glance at the Errors of Some Studies on the Health Effects of High Background Natural Radiation Areas
There is no place on the Earth, the planet we live on, where the natural background radiation level is zero. Since the birth and even in our fetal stage, we have been exposed to different sources of natural radiation. Life, in fact, evolved in a radiation environment that was much more harsh than today. Earth serves as a source of terrestrial radiation. Uranium, thorium, and radium are among th...
