Estimating natural radiation exposure from building materials used in Sri Lanka

In this work, the natural radioactivity levels of several building materials used in Sri Lanka, were determined in terms of Bq kg−1, and to calculate the radiological effects caused by this radioactivity. Activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in eighteen samples of manufactured building ma...
