САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:
Minerals and raw materials contain naturally occurred radionuclides from 238U, and 232Th decay series as well as 40K. These elements have always been present in the Earth’s crust and atmosphere. Industry uses many different raw materials that contain naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). These industries include: the coal industry, the oil and gas industry, metal mining, mineral sands, fertiliser (phosphate) industry, building industry, recycling. The emissions of radionuclides to air and water lead to the eventual exposure of humans. From that reason, knowing the exposures of the general public arising from emissions of naturally occurring radionuclides to the environment from industrial activities and knowing the radionuclide content of raw materials and wastes they generate, is very important.
