The results of the investigations of the activity concentration of natural radionuclides in certain building materials and foodstuff samples obtained from the Nurabad district of the Samarkand region of Uzbekistan are presented. The gamma radiation spectra of the samples were measured in Marinelli beaker geometry on γ- spectrometer with a Ge(Li) detector and energy resolution 6% on the 1332 keV line of 60Co. A personal computer and standard computer programs were used to accumulate and process the spectra. The characteristic density of the samples ranged from 140 to 1810 g/l. The activity concentration of 40K was observed to be comparatively higher than that of both 226Ra and 232Th in all the studied samples. The results reveal that the low activity of 137Cs in the samples is attributed due to its half-life decay period.

Natural radioactivity is a public health issue that affects people all around the world. Environmental radioactivity accounts for approximately 87% of the radiation dose received by human beings. The primary external source of irradiation to the human body is gamma radiation emitted by naturally occurring radioisotopes such as 40K and radionuclides from the 232Th and 238U families, as well as their decay products, which exist at trace amounts in all ground formations. The establishment of baseline data for environmental radiological studies is of great importance for the assessment of environmental radiological levels in Uzbekistan and related studies on human health risks. The current study aimed to describe the research state of the art on natural radioactivity in Uzbekistan with emphasis on results obtained during the last 20 years. NaI (Tl) and High Purity Germanium HPGe detectors were employed in most conducted studies. The results showed that data for natural radionuclide activity were below international standards in all but a few areas. The research results of this paper can play a good guidance and reference role in the planning of such research in the future.
