Radiation control of natural building raw materials

Abstract

It is known that the largest contribution to the effective dose (about 70%) is made by man-made sources of natural origin. Among them, ionizing irradiation of natural radionuclides (PRN) in building materials of enclosing structures and in soils under buildings are dominant. Since the impact of ionizing sources of construction production is exposed to almost the entire population, special attention is paid to the issue of radiation safety of building materials and construction sites.
