Abstract
This paper includes the results of measurements of natural radioactivity in building materials and raw building materials. The dose rate indoors was c alculated on the basis of the contents of K-40, Ra-226 and Th-232 in buildi ng materials and the results were compared with literature data of measurem ents tin situ). The standard procedure for qualifying building materials fo r building houses designed for habitation was used.
