High natural background radiation areas
@Yangjiang, China
@
Japan-China cooperative study has been carried out since
1991.
The data obtained until 1995 was published in Journal of Radiation Research
41. Suppl. (2000).
Farm village in Yangjiang.
Brick production using the clay obtained near-by field. The brick
has high radioactivity. Thus inside the buildings made of these
bricks, radon concentration and -ray dose are very high.
Indoor -ray doses in control and high background areas are shown
in the next figure. Details of the villages indicated by red mark
can been seen in the attached table.
