Abstract
Soil and sand samples collected from high background radiation area in Ullal near Mangalore from different depths were analysed for the concentration of primordial radionuclides by gamma spectrometry. The highest activity of {sup 232}Th and {sup 238}U in soil and sand was observed in the 0-10 cm layer. The activity of primordial radionuclides was determined for the different size fractions of soil and sand to study the enrichment pattern. The highest activity was found in the 250-125{mu} fraction in both soil and sand. The concentration of primordial radionuclides in river and marine sediments in the vicinity of the high background area were measured to understand the transportation of radionuclides in riverine and marine environments and to throw light on the formation of new patches of monazite deposits. The results of these systematic investigations are presented and discussed. (author). 17 refs., 4 tabs.
