Assessment of radiological hazards due to the natural radioactivity in soil and building material samples collected from six districts of the Punjab province-Pakistan
TL;DR: In this paper, the average radium equivalent activity, external and internal hazard indices and annual effective dose equivalent were found to range from 69 ± 25 to 165 ± 32 Bq kg -1, 0.18 ± 0.09 to 0.45 ± 0.39 ± 0 mSv, respectively.
