Con preghiera di diffusione,

si avvisa che in data *08-07-2024*, alle ore *11:00* precise, presso la
sala Pentagonale dell'Area della Ricerca 1 del CNR di Milano in via Corti
12,

il *Dr. Daya Shanker, Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian
Institute of Technology Roorkee, *terrà un seminario dal titolo

*Geological investigation of Natural Background Radiation Hazard in
Southern Tamil Nadu, India, and its effect on built environment*

Abstract: Exposure and quantification of radioactivity has become
environmental and civil problems around the world. The radioactivity even
in minor quantities will build up in human body and subsequently, lead to
unknown and erratic health complications particularly those related to
sustainable development, agricultural production, habitat, ecosystem, and
forest. A very high intrinsic anomalous radioactivity >26 microGy/h was
identified in the hinterlands within the boulders of syenite rock body
around Puttetti in western part of Kanyakumari district, southern Tamil
Nadu, India. Further, in the hinterlands, the weathered rocks around Inayam
and Midalam localities were also found to be more radioactive ranging from
4 to 22 microGy/h compared to the radiation exposure from the adjoining
beach sectors at various locations from Chavara to Tuticorin (1–14
microGy/h). The observed radiation levels are presumably the highest
concentration in southern India and conceivably it is foremost instant that
a very high intrinsic radiogenic source in the hinterlands is reported in
southwest coast of India. Public concerns of radiation exposure of safety
in high background areas are of great social and civil relevance. The
construction materials used for dwelling purposes from these areas should
be avoided from health hazard point of views. Significant radiation doses
will certainly enter the human body as most of the people have the habit of
sitting and sleeping on the floor. People living in the region are expected
to receive significant radiation, which may get accumulated in the human
body causing long-term health problem. It is also advisable if the area
falls having already natural background radiation hazard must be avoided
for the future nuclear power plants/reactors.
