In situ measurement of radionuclide concentrations
2020.5.16 A comparison of the concentrations of the radionuclide elements within and outside the mines (Table 6) indicates that daily mining/quarrying of these rocks increases the quantity of radiation in the environment, except for the pyroclastics. Hence, there is an urgent need to checkmate the quarrying of these rocks as construction materials.
