Somatic and genetic risks for population due to the natural radiation and type of the building development in Poland

The problem of new building materials should be of interest particularly to epidemiologists and ecologists, because the ionizing radiation dose levels that may be received by population from this source of exposure are much higher than those from the developed nuclear industry. The analysis of long-term biological effects to population of the present and expected development of dwelling buildings in Poland and the comparative distribution of inhabitants of different building types in decades between 1950 and 2009 is presented statistically.
