The purpose of the article is to check and assess what radiation is emitted by particular building materials with the passage of time. The analysis was performed with the EKO-C dosimetry device from Polon-Ekolab. The scope of the work included research on sixteen selected construction materials, divided into five groups. The analysis of the results showed that samples such as bricks (first group) and hollow blocks (second group) emit the highest radiation in the tested objects. When comparing these materials, the highest value was recorded when measuring the ceramic block of 15.76 mSv·yr. Taking into account the bricks, the highest value of radiation was shown by a full clinker brick, 11.3 mSv·yr. Insulation materials and finishing boards are two other groups of building materials that have been measured. They are characterised by a low level of radiation. In the case of materials for thermal insulation, the highest condition was demonstrated by graphite polystyrene of 4.463 mSv·yr, while among finishing boards, the highest value of radiation was recorded for the measurement of gypsum board of 3.76 mSv·yr. Comparing the obtained test results to the requirements of the Regulation of the Council of Ministers on ionizing radiation dose limits applicable in Poland, it can be noted that the samples examined individually do not pose a radiation risk to humans. When working with all types of samples, the radiation doses are added up. According to the guidelines of the regulation, the total radiation dose does not exceed 50 mSv·yr and does not constitute a threat to human health.
本文旨在检查和评估特定建筑材料随时间推移所发射的辐射。分析使用了来自 Polon-Ekolab 的 EKO-C 剂量计进行。该工作范围包括对 16 种选定的建筑材料进行研究，分为五组。结果分析表明，在测试对象中，砖（第一组）和空心砌块（第二组）等样品发射的辐射最高。在比较这些材料时，在测量 15.76 mSv·yr 的陶瓷块时记录到最高值。考虑到砖，辐射值最高的是全熟料砖，为 11.3 mSv·yr。隔热材料和饰面板是另外两组已测量的建筑材料。它们的辐射水平较低。在隔热材料方面，最高条件是石墨聚苯乙烯为 4.463 mSv·yr，而在饰面板方面，辐射值最高的是石膏板，为 3.76 mSv·yr。将获得的测试结果与波兰适用的电离辐射剂量限值的部长理事会条例的要求进行比较，可以注意到，单独检查的样品不会对人类造成辐射风险。在处理所有类型的样品时，会累加辐射剂量。根据该法规的指南，总辐射剂量不超过 50 mSv·yr，不会对人类健康构成威胁。
