Radiological characterization of tuff of Ciglio area in Ischia Island was performed to assess the potential radiological hazard associated with its use. For this purpose, high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy was used. In five green tuff samples was measured the activity concentration of natural gamma-ray emitting radionuclides226 Ra,232 Th and40 K so, the mean gamma index was calculated. The mean value of the gamma index resulted lower than the reference level and it meets the dose criterion for the safety use of green tuff as building material.

Abstract
Radiological characterization of tuff of Ciglio area in Ischia Island was performed to assess the potential radiological hazard associated with its use. For this purpose, high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy was used. In five green tuff samples was measured the activity concentration of natural gamma-ray emitting radionuclides226 Ra,232 Th and40 K so, the mean gamma index was calculated. The mean value of the gamma index resulted lower than the reference level and it meets the dose criterion for the safety use of green tuff as building material.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
