Abstract
This work presents the results of an investigation undertaken to determine
the level of natural radioactivity in the traditional building materials used
for medieval indoor vaulted constructions in the territory of the central
Balkan region. Indoor radiation exposure varies appreciably if it comes from
the earth building materials, hence the presence of natural radioisotopes of
226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in masonry vaulted constructions was analyzed using
gamma ray spectrometry. In addition, the internal health hazard index, the
absorbed dose rates and the effective annual doses were calculated. The
results were then compared both with the reported data from the previous
studies concerning the territory of the Balkan Peninsula, as well as with the
worldwide values for the materials of historic buildings. The results
obtained from the materials examined in this paper all showed the
radioactivity levels below the maximum permitted values. [Projekat
