Criteria for evaluation of building materials hazard based on their natural radioactivity in Russia and in the European Union countries

We hereby have considered the natural radioactivity of building materials as a source of radiation for the human environment. We have considered the Russian and the European evaluation criteria for ensuring radiation safety of the population. We also present an experimental research of the content o...
