class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Building materials contain naturally occurring radionuclides that can result in significant gamma-ray exposure and contribute to indoor radon concentrations. Gamma-emitting radionuclides typically lead to external exposure to ionising radiation, while radon gas, together with its short-lived decay products, induces internal exposure, which is highly dependent on the concentration of this radioactive gas in indoor environments. Considering that most people spend between 80% and 93% of their time indoors, indoor air quality is extremely important for healthy living. \nAlthough the assessment of natural radioactivity content in modern building materials has been extensively studied, there is currently a lack of knowledge about the radiological risk to humans due to external and internal exposure to ionising radiation in stone materials used for historical sites and monuments. Bearing in mind that building stones undergo various degradation and alteration processes with a rate of deterioration closely related to their mineralogical and chemical composition, texture and porous structure, it is reasonable to assume that radon exhalation from these materials is highly dependent on the specific type of weathering to which buildings and monuments are continuously exposed. In this context, the application of consolidants, already widely used to improve the performance of stones against such natural weathering mechanisms, could also lead to a change in the rate of radon exhalation. In this sense, for radiological as well as conservation purposes, it is crucial to determine the best conservation procedures to adopt in order to preserve the cultural heritage as long as possible, by identifying the most appropriate consolidating product that reduces radon exhalation while maintaining sufficient compatibility with the substrates.\nKnowledge of the aforementioned aspects would not only make it possible to ascertain the possible radiological risk to human health, but also to support the design of radiation protection measures in future restoration work.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c256201\"
