Resumo
In the present work, the activity concentrations of natural radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th and 40K
were analyzed in 32 samples of wheat, corn, manioc and rice flours commonly used by
residents of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. All samples were dried, homogenized and tightly
sealed in standard 100 mL HDPE flasks with plan screw cap and bubble spigot and measured
for 150 ks by gamma spectrometry with an Extended Range Coaxial germanium detector
(Canberra GX4020 detector), after approximately 4 weeks storage, in order to ensure secular
equilibrium. All spectra were analyzed with the InterWinner 6.0 software. The 226Ra activity
concentration was determined from the weighted average concentrations of 214Pb and 214Bi.
The 232Th activity concentration was determined from the weighted average concentrations of
228Ac, 212Pb and 212Bi and the 40K one from its single gamma transition. The 226Ra, 232Th and
40K activity concentrations results ranged, respectively, from 0.97 Bq/kg ± 0.42 Bq/kg to 4.75
Bq/kg ± 0.82 Bq/kg, from 8.07 Bq/kg ± 2.36 Bq/kg to 19.02 Bq/kg ± 3.56 Bq/kg and from
25.22 Bq/kg ± 4.38 Bq/kg to 153.5 Bq/kg ± 17.02 Bq/kg.
