Abstract

The study analyses naturally occurring Radium-226 and Thorium-232 and Potassium-40 in the soils of various textural content and some crops and materials used in construction. The study reveals in what forms these naturally occurring radionuclides are presented; also the effective activity content for some construction materials has been estimated.
