The natural radioactivity plays an important role in human life.This book investigates dose rate and the environmental impacts of some rocks materials in Egypt.also,the author focuses on two types of rocks [Kaolin and Gibbsite]. The geological aspects of kaolin and gibbsite rocks samples are concerned in some localities in Sinai. This book contains four chapters, Chapter one presents general aspects of kaolin and gibbsite rocks, geological setting of the studied localities and previous work in this field. Chapter two and three presented detailed information about the measuring, experimental technique, physical concepts and related equations in the present work. Chapter four explained in details the results which obtained from radiometric, Geo-chemical analyses.The radiation hazard parameters are calculated and compared with the international recommended limits.The results of this book are considered as database information for investigators and industrial companies which used kaolin and gibbsite rocks as raw materials for several purposes.The results showed that kaolin material is better than gibbsite material in industry.
