Radiological hazard indices and elemental composition of Brazilian and Swiss ornamental rocks

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the radiological risk index of ornamental rocks sold both in Brazil and Europe and to correlate its radioactive content with their chemical composition. The 238U, 232Th and 40K mean values were 62 ± 65, 122 ± 111, 1126 ± 516 Bq kg-1 for Brazilian and 93 ±...
