Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs: 232Th, 226Ra, 40K) can reach our
respiratory system by breathing of road dust which can cause severe health risks. Targeting …

This study demonstrates the specific radioactivities of primordial radionuclides in dust
samples collected from educational institutions of the megacity Dhaka, Bangladesh …

Radioactivity concentrations and heavy metal content were measured in soil samples
collected from the area of Kragujevac, one of the largest cities in Serbia. The specific …

Clay soil samples (0, 30, and 60 cm depths) were collected from two districts (Abu Al Khasib
and Ad Dayr) in Basrah governorate in southern Iraq for gamma‐ray spectroscopy. The …

The increasing interest in radioactivity has brought about the need for an assessment of
human exposure to radiation. It is, therefore, necessary to examine naturally occurring …

River sediments from eight different sites of the coast of Calabria, south of Italy, were
sampled to determine natural radioactivity and metal concentrations, in order to assess any …

The specific activities of natural radionuclides (40K, 226Ra and 232Th) and Chernobyl-
derived 137Cs were measured in soil profiles representing typical soil types of Belgrade …

Terrestrial gamma radiation is the major source of outdoor radiation exposure to human
being. Because of the variation of underlying geological characteristics of surface soil, the …

The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in soils from the area affected by
