Abstract
The average dose received by the population is mainly comes from the natural radionuclides. Natural radionuclides in building material are the sources of external and internal radiation exposure in dwellings. In this study the activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in different cement samples were measured by Gamma-ray spectroscopy system using High purity Germanium (HPGe) detector with 20% relative efficiency. Efficiency of the detector was calculated using standard sources. A total of thirteen cement samples were collected from different manufactures of Dhaka city. The average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in cements samples was found 32.20±15.04 Bqkg-1, 18.26±11.76Bqkg-1 and 57.89±24.14 Bqkg-1 respectively. The calculated average value is lower than the world average limit. The average value of radium equivalent activity for cements was found 65.67 Bqkg-1 which is less than the world average value 370 Bqkg-1. Internal hazard index & External hazard index were found to be varied from 0.26 and 0.18 respectively; these values are less than unity in all samples that indicate the non-hazardous nature of the samples. Absorbed dose rate were found to be varied from 8.54 nGyh-1 to 41.82 nGyh-1 with an average value 26.09nGyh-1. Annual effective dose rate were found to be varied from 0.04 mSvy-1 to 0.20 mSvy-1 with an average value 0.13 mSvy-1 which is below the recommended level of 1mSvy-1.
