Assessment of Natural Radioactivity and Radiological Risks in River Sediments from Calabria (Southern Italy)

This study was developed to carry out a comprehensive radiological assessment of natural radioactivity for river sediment samples from Calabria, southern Italy, and to define a baseline background for the area on a radiation map. In the studied area, elevated levels of natural radionuclides are expe...
