  • Title: Reference natural radionuclide concentrations in Australian soils and derived terrestrial air kerma rate.
    Author: Kleinschmidt R.
    Journal: J Environ Radioact; 2017 Jun; 172():160-162. PubMed ID: 28365477.
    Abstract:
    Sediment from drainage catchment outlets has been shown to be a useful means of sampling large land masses for soil composition. Naturally occurring radioactive material concentrations (uranium, thorium and potassium-40) in soil have been collated and converted to activity concentrations using data collected from the National Geochemistry Survey of Australia. Average terrestrial air kerma rate data are derived using the elemental concentration data, and is tabulated for Australia and states for use as baseline reference information.
