Description

Geological origins of high natural radioactivity areas are reviewed. The anomalous high radioactivity of the earth's land surface, geosphere and rocks is discussed. Emphasis is given on two examples of high radioactivity anomalies: the Conway granite of New Hampshire and The St. Sandstone of the north central U.S.A

Abstract (Portuguese)
