A total of 85 soil samples collected from different parts of the city were analysed using NaI(Tl) cray spectrometry. It was found that the mean activity concentrations of natural radionuclides 226 Ra, 232 Th and 40 K were 23.2 ± 2.5, 21.0 ± 3.4 and 371 ± 25.9 Bqkg-1 , respectively, all falling below the worldwide mean values. Accordingly, in order to assess the radiological risk, radium equivalent activity (Ra eq), absorbed gamma dose rate (D), annual effective dose equivalent (AED), and external hazard index (H ex) were estimated and found to have mean values of 30.93 nGyh-1 , 37.93 lSvy-1 , 64.14 Bqkg-1 and 0.18 Bqkg-1 , respectively. Also, the results were statistically analysed to make recommendations for further regulation.

Radon measurements were realized by using LR-115 Type 2 solid state nuclear track detectors. Radon activity concentrations of these materials were found to vary between 130.00 ± 11.40 and 1604.06 ± 40.5 Bq m−3. The natural radioactivity in selected mortar materials was analyzed by using scintillation gamma spectroscopy. The activity concentrations for 226Ra, 232Th and 40K for the studied mortar materials ranged from ND to 48.5 ± 7.0 Bq kg−1, ND to 41.0 ± 6.4 Bq kg−1 and ND to 720.4 ± 26.8 Bq kg−1, respectively. Radium equivalent activities, external and internal hazard indexes, gamma and alpha indexes and absorbed gamma dose rates were calculated to assess the radiation hazard of the natural radioactivity in studied samples. The calculated Raeq...
