Appendix A: Results of in-situ gamma-ray measurements of seven commercial granites

Table A.1. The abundances (± statistical uncertainties) of K (in wt. %), 238U and 232Th (μg/g) obtained by in-situ measurements for seven commercial granites. The first two letters of survey ID indicate Rosa Beta (RB), Ghiandone (Gh), Giallo San Giacomo (SG), Rosa Cinzia (RC), Grigio Malaga (GM), Bianco Sardo (BS) and Grigio Perla (GP). The third letter corresponds to the quarry investigated. The final number is referred to the progressive number of survey performed in such quarry.
