Radiation exposure, building material
 scroll 
The building material used for house building influences the radiation
dose of human beings due to natural radioactive substances. The radiation
within buildings made of bricks or concrete is higher than in buildings
made of wood or some type of pre-assembled units since this building
material contains less natural radioactive substances.
