Evaluation of the I-index by use of a portable hand-held spectrometer and laboratory methods : a risk assessment of Swedish concrete by use of different crushed aggregates

The recommended levels of ionizing radiation from construction materials in effective dose is set to a maximum of 1 mSv/year, EC (1996, 1999, 2013), ICRP (2007), IAEA (2011). By using a theoretical ...
