Abstract:
This study was conducted to evaluate the radioactivity level in the granite building raw material production area in Cenxi, China. Natural radionuclide concentrations, γ absorbed dose rates (ADRs) and radon exhalation rates were measured in the area. The spatial distribution of natural radionuclides, γ ADR and radon exhalation rate were mapped with GPS information. The radioactivity levels in the study area were analysed based on the descriptive statistics and frequency distribution of measurement data. According to the Chinese standard, the granite raw materials used for building and decoration in this region were classified based on their radiological hazards. In addition, radiation protection measures were proposed for the mining of local granite building materials products as well as environmental protection around the work area and resident safety.
