Radiological assessment of an imported building material: A case study

Doses of external exposure in Jordan house due to gamma-emitting natural radionuclides in building materials

“…These materials may have a lot of applications, especially, if they are cheaper than traditional building materials. Therefore, there is an interest in indoor radiation due to such applications (Koblinger, 1978;Tufail et al, 1994;Pavlovic et al, 1996;Risica et al, 2001;Eged et al, 2006;de Jong and van Dijk, 2008).
