Radionuclides activity and effective doses referred to geological formations

Abstract

Naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) are present in Earth’s crust and they caused natural background radiation, variable in different regions. Liquid, gas and solid radionuclides emit three types of radiation – alpha, beta and gamma. Fluctuations of natural radioactivity in different geological formations in the world and in Poland were compared in relation to radiological hazard. Also drilling cuttings from boreholes in Pomerania were investigated by a dosimeter to estimate absorbed doses associated with unconventional oil and gas exploration. It provides the possibility to verify the hazard of exposure to ionizing radiation from rocks during oil and gas activities in this area.
