| Özet |
| It is very important to determine the levels of the natural radioactivity in construction materials and radon exhalation rate from these materials for assessing potential exposure risks for the residents. The present study deals with 22 different granite samples employed as decoration stones in constructions in Turkey. The natural radioactivity in granite samples was measured by gamma-ray spectrometry with an HPGe detector. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were found to be in the range of 10–187, 16–354 and 104–1630 Bq kg−1, respectively. The radon surface exhalation rate and the radon mass exhalation rate estimated from the measured values of 226Ra content and material properties varied from 1.3 to 24.8 Bq m−2 h−1 with a mean of 10.5±1.5 Bq m−2 h−1 and 0.03–0.64 Bq kg−1 h−1 with a mean of 0.27±0.04 Bq kg−1 h−1, respectively. Radon concentrations in the room caused from … |
