“…The volume and porosity were estimated for all samples according to ISRM [17]. Each sample was first polished and then enclosed in a 10.4-liter closed chamber, together with a real-time radon-monitoring instrument (Radex MR-107), which measures the radon activity growth over time [5,18,19]. According to Leonardi et al…”

“…where λ e is the effective radon decay constant (h −1 ), which accounts for the radon decay, the leak rate of the system and the back diffusion; C 0 and C m are the radon activity concentration (Bq m −3 ) at time = 0 and its maximum value respectively [18]. As shown in Fig.…”

“…Therefore, determination of natural radioactivity levels of building materials is very important in the evaluation of radiological hazards arising from indoor external and internal exposures to individuals and preparation standards and national guidelines of these materials in the light of international recommendations (Aykamış et al 2013;Ravisankar et al 2016). Recently, due to the increasing social anxiety, many studies on the measurement of natural radioactivity of different building materials and the assessment of the associated radiological risks on human health were published in the literature (Kumara et al 2018;Al-Hubail and Al-Azmi 2018;Otoo et al 2018;Leonardi et al 2018;De With et al 2018;Abdullahi et al 2019;Al-Sewaidan 2019;Nuccetelli et al 2020;La Verde et al 2020;Orosun et al 2020;Ghias et al 2021). Up to now, several studies related to the determination of the activity concentrations of 232 Th, 226 Ra, and 40 K in some building materials used in Turkey and assessment of the radiological health hazards associated with these materials (Erees et al 2006;Turhan et al 2008;Turhan 2009;Mavi and Akkurt 2010;Turhan 2010;Turhan et al 2011;Turhan and Varinlioğlu 2012;Baykara et al 2012;Solak et al 2014;Hatungimana et al 2020).…”

“…Studies on the radioactivity of building materials and waste used in their production are becoming more and more common [27][28][29][30]. So far, there is not a great deal of data about radon exhalation rate in building materials containing NORM residues [30]. For example, in [31] there are only 1100 pieces of data from 14 European countries on radon emanation/exhalation rate.…”
