Gamma radiation measurements and dose rates in commercially-used natural tiling rocks (granites).
The gamma radiation in samples of a variety of natural tiling rocks (granites) imported in Cyprus for use in the building industry was measured, employing high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. The rock samples were pulverised, sealed in 1-l plastic Marinelli beakers, and measured in the laboratory with an accumulating time between 10 and 14 h each. From the measured gamma-ray spectra, activit...
متن کاملSurvey Gamma Radiation Measurements in Commercially-used Natural Tiling Rocks in Iran
The gamma radiation in samples of a variety of natural tiling rocks (granites) produced and imported in Iran use in the building industry was measured, employing high-resolution Gamma-ray spectroscopy. The rock samples were pulverized, sealed in 0.5 liter plastic Marinelli beakers, and measured in the laboratory with an accumulating time between 50000 and 80000 second each. From the measured Ga...
متن کاملComparison of Indoor and Outdoor Dose Rates from Environmental Gamma Radiation in Kurdistan Province
Background & Aims: Studying about background radiation is important because human beings are continuously exposed to these radiations which leave energy in tissues and the transferred energy leads to undesirable biologic effects. The level of background radiation differs in indoor and outdoor places. Since, people spend more time indoors, in this research environmental gamma dose rate for indoo...
متن کاملNatural Gamma Radiation and Effective Annual Dose in Hot Springs in South Khorasan Province, Iran
Background and purpose: Background radiation exists naturally in the environment and human has been always exposed to it. These rays can affect living creatures and cause chromosomal damage, and genetic and somatic diseases. Hot water springs are a major source of background radiation. This study aimed at investigating the absorbed dose of environmental gamma and determining the annual effecti...
متن کاملAssessment of Outdoor Gamma Radiation Dose Rates in 49 Cities of Guilan Province, IRAN
Introduction Guilan is one of the provinces in North of Iran, with population of 2,480,874 and a total area of 14,042 square kilometers. This study assesses the outdoor natural gamma dose rates in the air of 49 cities in Guilan and calculates corresponding average annual effective dose. Materials and Methods A total of 260 different sample points measurements were carried out. The results inc...
