Abstract:
:The radionuclide contents of conventional natural raw building materials, coal ash and slag, and finished building products have been determined using gamma-ray spectrometry. Results of brick measurements in their original geometry and in crushed form are compared. The radioactive concentrations in cement and sand, mostly imported from China, are among the lowest measured. However, due to the high radioactivity of aggregates, composed of granite mainly extracted locally, the mean Ra equivalent activity of concrete is high compared with that in some countries. The radioactivity levels of coal ash and slag in Hong Kong are about the average values in other countries. The incorporation of coal ash and slag in ordinary concrete does not alter the radioactivity significantly.
