The Spectro-Physical Analysis of Radiation Emission in Selected Building Construction Materials

In recent times, the incidence of radiation pollution on account of encounter with some emissions from materials used in construction works has been on increase. This study aimed at studying the Spectro-Physical Analysis of Radiation Emission In Selected Building Construction with a view to establishing the emission level to prevent radiation hazards. The following ingredients/equipment were employed in laboratory experiments: a sieve ; Washing can/cylinder; Cement; water; Fine aggregate (sharp sand); Gravel; Gamma ray spectrometer. Some of the apparatus used, are Electron Microscope, Gamma ray spectrometer, spectrometer counter and others. Dosage rate indices was high in the case of Sand and Granite samples, with Thorium level for the three samples falls withing tolerable limit of less than 200 milligram. However, Uranium was found in little amount, continuous exposure to the element over a prolonged period of time can be dangerous. The study recommend adoption of protective measure to guide against the low emission from Uranium, so as to prevent health hazard.ingle paragraph of about 200 words maximum. For research articles, abstracts should give a pertinent overview of the work. We strongly encourage authors to use the following style of structured abstracts, but without headings: (1) Background: Place the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study; (2) Methods: briefly describe the main methods or treatments applied; (3) Results: summarize the article’s main findings; (4) Conclusions: indicate the main conclusions or interpretations. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article and it must not contain results that are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.
