Evaluation of radiological risk associated with local building materials commonly used in Northwestern Nigeria

In this study, potential radiological risk due to the activity concentrations of primordial radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th, and 40K) in commonly used local building materials (sand, clay, kaolin and gypsum) in Northwestern Nigeria were assessed using NaI (Tl) detector. The measured activity concentrati...
