摘要：

Track etch technique using LR-115 plastic track detectors has been used to measure the effective radium content of sand samples collected from Chhatrapur beach of Orissa state (India). The values of effective radium content have been found to vary from 63.6 to 773.5 Bq kg(-1) within about +/-15%. The values for 13 samples were found below and values for 7 samples were found above the limit of 370 Bq kg(-1) recommended for the safe use of building materials for dwellings by Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
