| Özet |
| A total of 183 samples of 20 different commonly used structural and covering building materials were collected from housing and other building construction sites and from suppliers in Ankara to measure the natural radioactivity due to the presence of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K. The measurements were carried out using gamma-ray spectrometry with two HPGe detectors. The specific activities of the different building materials studied varied from 0.5 ± 0.1 to 144.9 ± 4.9 Bq kg−1, 0.6 ± 0.2 to 169.9 ± 6.6 Bq kg−1 and 2.0 ± 0.1 to 1792.3 ± 60.8 Bq kg−1 for 226Ra, 232Th and 40K, respectively. The results show that the lowest mean values of the specific activity of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K are 0.8 ± 0.5, 0.9 ± 0.4 and 4.1 ± 1.4 Bq kg−1, respectively, measured in travertine tile while the highest mean values of the specific activity of the same radionuclides are 78.5 ± 18.1 (ceramic wall tile), 77.4 ± 53.0 (granite tile) and 923.4 … |
