Assessment of natural radiation exposure and radon exhalation rate in various samples of Egyptian building materials
The aim of this investigation was to determine the amount of γ-decay of several building materials used in Egypt, in terms of Bq kg−1, and to calculate the radiological effect caused by this radioactivity. Activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in 30 samples of manufactured building materia...
