Natural radioactivity is a public health concern worldwide. Its deleterious effects are largely
associated with emitting ionizing particles which generate innumerable toxicological …

Most destructive earthquakes nucleate at between 5–7 km and about 35–40 km depth.
Before earthquakes, rocks are subjected to increasing stress. Not every stress increase …

Abstract The natural radioactivity (238 U, 226 Ra, 232 Th and 40 K) and radon emanation
coefficient for 57 soil samples belonging to alluvial, red, forest surface, slip-debris …

The natural radioactivity of the major plutonic bodies in Greece, as well as the assessment of
any potential health hazard due to their usage as decorative building materials is studied …

A built-up environment utilizes building materials containing natural radionuclides that will
change radiological risks. While radiological risks have been estimated from the activity …

This study investigated the environmental risk of natural radioactivity and some toxic
elements in quarry site located in Nkalagu, Southeastern Nigeria. Background radiometric …

Natural origins of radioactive elements are present in different concentrations in the
environment as well as granite quarry depending on the geological formation of the soil. The …

The present paper describes a detailed study on the distribution of radionuclides along
Chavara–Neendakara placer deposit, a high background radiation area (HBRA) along the …

The study aimed to determine the natural radioactivity levels of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K by
the Gamma-Ray spectrometry method, and radiological hazard parameters of the plutonic …

Building materials and their additives contain radioactive isotopes, which can increase both
external and internal radioactive exposures of humans. In this study Hungarian natural …
