Abstract
A hundred sample of natural and manufactured Syrian building materials have been studied. A high pure Germanium detector in use was connected to S-100 MCA Master board and samples have been analysed by using micro sampo gamma spectrum analysis for their Thorium-232, Radium-226 and Potassium-40 content. Fourteen kinds of building materials were studied; bricks ceramic and fire soil, generally showed the greatest concentration of the above mentioned radionuclides. While the other products like sand, cement, marble, and limestone, contained very low activity. All samples fitted the range of criteria set up in the OECD-NEA report 1979. (author). 7 refs., 21 tabs., 24 figs.
