Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the radioactivity and radiological risk of various granites and marbles from Egypt, using a Germanium detector to measure activity levels.
- It found that granite samples had significantly higher levels of radioactivity compared to marble samples, with average activity concentrations for granite exceeding global soil averages.
- The presence of potassium feldspar in granites is attributed to the increased radioactivity, while marbles are considered safer due to their lower potassium and uranium/thorium content.
