摘要

The gypsum of building materials which are one of the potential sources of indoor radioactivity because of the naturally occurring radionuclides in them. External as well as internal exposures are the two pathways of radiation dose imparted to the human beings from the building materials. Natural radioactivity levels of 18 samples of natural gypsum and manufactured in Egypt have been investigated by using gamma spectrometer with HPGe detector. The samples were collected from local market in Egypt. From the measured γ-ray spectra, activity concentrations were determined. The activity ranged from 10.7±3.4-170.4±5.1 Bq kg-1 for 226Ra, with mean 91.97 Bq kg-1 and from 3.1±0.7-70.8±3.6 Bq kg-1 for 232Th with mean 42.27 Bq kg-1 and from 301.3±6.3-689.1±8.7 Bq kg-1 40K with mean 499.28 Bq kg-1. The radium equivalent activity Raeq, the external hazard index Hex and the absorbed dose rate in air D in each sample was evaluated to assess the radiation hazard for people living in dwelling made of materials studied. Gypsum sample have radium equivalent dose Raeq ranged from 38.41 to 324.7 Bq kg-1. These values are lower than the limit of 370 Bq kg-1 adopted by OECD the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The absorbed dose rate in indoor air are lower than the international recommended values of 55 n Gy h-1 in sample G1, G2, G11, G17and G18. The sample G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, G9, G10, G12, G13, G14, G15 and G16 are higher than of 55 n Gy h-1 this samples are not acceptable for use as building materials as defined by the OECD criterion.
