Abstract
LR115 track detectors were exposed to samples of Moroccan phosphate and pho sphogypsum to measure their alpha-particle radioactivity. Then two formalis ms were used for the dosimetry: simulation by a Monte Carlo method and dete rmination of concentrations from a numerically integrated track registratio n equation. The results were compared with those deduced gamma-ray spectrom etry.
