| Abstract |
Surveys to determine the radioactive content of specific building materials used in the United States have not been reported in the literature. The external dose to the U.S. population from exposure to natural radioactive materials (exclusive of uranium mill tailings) contained in U.S. building materials has not been evaluated, and the possibly significant external exposure from the use of by-product gypsum and fly-ash materials should be evaluated. The effects of various construction materials on the attenuation of cosmic and terrestrial radiations have been evaluated in a limited number of surveys in the urban areas of Boston, New York, and Livermore, California. The measurement of radon and radon daughter product concentrations has only been reported for a few dwellings and several multi-story office buildings in Boston and in several State-owned buildings in North Carolina. This literature search has found a lack of meaningful data for use in evaluating the U.S. population exposure from building materials. |
