Abstract

The specific radioactivity concentrations of $\^$238/U, $\^$232/Th, $\^$40/K were measured in soil samples around Zuunmod town of Mongolia using HP-Ge gamma-spectrometer. Also the specific radioactivity concentrations of above elements were measured in coal and ash samples which were collected from the Central steam heating in Zuunmod town. It was determined the effective equivalent dose.
