  • Title: Natural radioactivity in some building materials in Cuba and their contribution to the indoor gamma dose rate.
    Author: Flores OB, Estrada AM, Zerquera JT.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2005; 113(2):218-22. PubMed ID: 15572398.
    Abstract:
    The natural radioactivity of some building materials commonly used in Cuba was measured by gamma spectrometry. Typical concentrations encountered so far encountered are in the ranges: 47-2511 Bq kg(-1) for (40)K; 9-71 Bq kg(-1) for (226)Ra; and 2-38 Bq kg(-1) for (232)Th. The external gamma ray absorbed doses in indoor air and the corresponding effective dose-equivalents in a typical dwelling are presented in this paper.
