🅾️Topics : Gamma Rays /Monazite Sand/IAEA /Basaltic Vocanic Rocks /Uranium Thorium Deposits
🔵Background Radiations or those that are emitted from natural resources like rocks, sands or mountains are nearly three times more than what is been assumed pan India by BARC
✅️It is because of monazite sands that are high in thorium. Moreover, southern India has presence of granite and basaltic volacnic rocks, which have high levels of radiation from Uranium Deposits
* Sievret or nano Gray per hour (nGy/hr)are units to measure radiations emitted from atomic energy establishments✅️
