摘要: The activity concentrations and absorbed gamma dose of primordial radionuclides 238U, 232Th 40K were determined employing γ-ray spectrometry in 31 soil samples from the land area earmarked for house construction Perambalur district 14 rock quarries that supply stones entire district. registered relatively a higher mean value 13.2 Bq kg−1 66 340.3 as compared to values (238U—8.0 kg−1; 232Th—65.1 40K—199.1 kg−1). rate (61.4 nGy h−1) marginally exceeded prescribed limit 55 h−1 while, rocks 10.4 h−1. radium equivalent was distinctly (130.6 kg−1) than (20.0 However, these lower (370 set by OECD building materials. It is evident data do not pose any radiological risk constructions
