Exploration of natural radioactivity and radiological hazards due to radioisotopes in some marble commercially sold in Türkiye
Natural stones have been the most important material used in both the building sector and art since ancient times. One of the natural stones frequently used in human life is marble. Natural stones contain various concentrations of natural radionuclides due to their underground origin. Therefore, it is critical to determine the radioactivity in natural stones, which are indispensable for human life. In this context, the levels of natural radioactivity (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in commercial marbles collected from different regions of Türkiye were determined, and potential radiological hazards were evaluated. The natural radioactivity levels in the marble samples were measured using high-purity germanium detector system (HPGe). The radioactivity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in the marble samples range from 0.38 ± 0.11 to 63.38 ± 2.13 Bq/kg for 226Ra, from 3.67 ± 1.30 to 112.20 ± 3.36 Bq/kg for 232Th, and from 8.13 ± 2.21 to 961.06 ± 17.36 Bq/kg for 40K. Also, some radiological hazard parameters (Raeq, Hex, Iγ, ADR, AED and CR) for marble samples were calculated and evaluated. Based on the results obtained, this study indicates that the marble samples examined can be used safely in construction and will not create a significant radiological hazard when used anywhere.
期刊介绍:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
