| Özet |
| E arth-based materials such as rocks, stones, and soil mainly contain uranium (238U), thorium (232Th) and their decay products, and radioisotopes such as potassium (40K). Building materials contain low amounts of radioactive substances because they are produced from earthsourced materials. Some industrial by-products also contain radionuclides from radioactive waste (Kristic et al. 2007). In studies conducted in different parts of the world, mostly using the gamma spectrometer method, the activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K radioisotopes in various building material samples have been reported (Çam Kaynar et al. 2015; Righi and Bruzzi, 2006; Sonkawade et al. 2008). Alpha and beta radiations emitted by 222Rn and shortlived decay products, which originate from building materials used in home and workplace buildings and enter the body through the respiratory tract, cause internal irradiation (El-Taher 2012; TAEK, 2008). Since gamma rays emitted from building materials can travel long distances, people are constantly exposed to this radiation and face various health risks in the long term. Internal radiation occurs when the short half-life of 222Rn gas, which is generally released in the uranium decay chain, mixes with the air and reaches the respiratory tract and lungs. Since the geological characteristics of the living area as well as the |
