Natural radioactivity hazards of building bricks fabricated from saline soil of two districts of Pakistan.
TL;DR: Activity concentrations of primordial radionuclides 40K, 226Ra and 232Th have been measured in house building bricks fabricated from saline soil in Pakistan and the radiological hazard parameters of the bricks under investigation have been compared with those from other locations of Pakistan and also from some other countries in Asia.
