Assessment 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 کاملAssessment of radiological hazards due to soil and building materials used in Mirpur Azad Kashmir Pakistan
Background: Health hazards associated with exposure due to the natural radioactivity which is a part of our physical environment are of great concern. In order to assess the risks associated with exposure due to the natural radioactivity in soil and building materials, extensive studies have been carried out all over the world. The most commonly encountered radionuclide’s are 238U, 2...
متن کاملComparative assessment of natural radioactivity and radiological hazards in building tiles and sharp sand sourced locally and those imported from China and India
Background: Thirteen (13) types of building tiles and Sharp sand commonly used for building purposes were collected for their radionuclide contents analysis. Both imported and locally produced building tiles were examined. Materials and Methods: The samples of tiles and sand were crushed to powder and they were prepared such that their content could be examined by the use of gamma-ray spectrom...
متن کاملAssessment of radiological hazards of travertine rocks as building materials
Introduction: Although travertine is now widely used as a building material, the effects of its radiological hazards to public health should be a matter of concern. Therefore, this study aimed to determine its radiological parameters with regard to human health. Material and Methods: In this research 10 travertine samples were collected ...
متن کاملNatural radioactivity in ceramic tiles and associated radiological hazards
Background: The natural radioactivity levels in ceramic tiles produced in Turkey were determined and the related radiological hazards were assessed. Materials and Methods: The natural radioactivity levels (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in the ceramic tiles were measured using high-purity germanium detector system (HPGe) and the related radiological hazards were assessed by radium equivalent activity (R...
