Radioactivity of sand from several renowned public beaches and assessment of the corresponding environmental risks

Radioactivity of sand from several renowned public beaches and assessment of the corresponding environmental risks

The radiological risk due to the presence of natural and man-made radionuclides in beach sands from several renowned seaside and riverbank public beaches was estimated in this study. The exposure levels to terrestrial radiation of the beaches were determined, as well as hazards due to human use of t...
