چکیده
People use granite in residential buildings on a large scale all around the world. Knowing granite’s radiological characteristics allows for safe of its properties to be maintained over time. Our findings are significant two reasons: first, they may increase public awareness naturally radioactive materials under investigation, and second, necessary establish standards, regulations, management building used Saudi Arabia. In this study, twenty-four granitic rock samples were collected from Hai’l area Arabia, these as material. Gamma spectrometry was measure amounts 238U, 232Th, 226Ra, 40K samples. The obtained data also calculate some environmental hazard parameters, such absorbed gamma dose rate (AGDR), annual effective (AEDR), radium equivalent (Raeq), external internal indexes (Hex Hin), index (Iγ), alpha (Iα), excess lifetime cancer (ELCR). We concluded that harmful need more attenuation if materials.

The activity concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides K, Ra and Th have been measured in different brands of fertilizer samples in Saudi Arabia using sodium iodide gamma spectrometry. The results of measurements showed that the mean (ranges) of specific activities for Ra, Th and K activities in the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are 64 (35.8 120.7), 17 (3.2 56.8) and 2...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional measurement of natural radioactivity of granitic rocks by photostimulated luminescence technique
Two-dimensional measurement of radiation produced by natural irradiation of granitic rocks was performed by the use of an imaging plate, which is a storage film coated with photostimulated phosphor (BaFBr:Eu2+). Radiation images of small volume specimens, such as thin sections were obtained with the imaging plate. Irradiation images of granitic rocks are inhomogeneous and the intensity of photo...
