Evaluation of radiometric standards of major building materials used in dwellings of South-Western Nigeria

Realizing the probable health risk via the exposures to gamma radiations caused by terrestrial radionuclides, concentrations of 40K, 226Ra(238U) and 232Th radionuclides in popularly used building materials were investigated by gamma-ray spectroscopy. A total of 173 samples representative of major bu...
