Sažetak
This chapter gives a basic introduction regarding radioactivity (Section 3.1), Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORMs) (Section 3.2), and the interaction of radiation with matter and the relevant doses and units (Section 3.3). An overview of the main natural sources for internal and external exposure is given in Section 3.4. Section 3.5 gives a more in depth discussion of the principal radiation characteristics of NORM focusing on the properties of the individual radionuclides (238U and 232Th and their decay products and 40K). This section deals with the activity concentration of the natural occurring radionuclides and with the concepts of radon emanation and exhalation.
