N2  - Covering or decorative building materials derived fromrock and soil include primordial radionuclides such as 238U and 232Thseries, and potassium radioisotope (40K) varying from one country toanother and from one location to another in the same country. The kineticenergy of radiation emitted from these radionuclides in the covering buildingmaterials like other building materials are sources of radiogenic heat. Marbletiles are commonly used as wall and floor covering, facing materials forbuildings, kitchen counter- top, vanity tops and inner and outer decorativematerials because of their appearance, attractive colours, polished surface anddurability against external conditions and high resistance to wear. In thisstudy, radiogenic heat productions of marble and glazed tiles samples arecalculated based on the elemental concentrations of uranium (in terms ofmg/kg), thorium (in terms of mg/kg) and potassium (in terms of %) in thesamples collected from various provinces in Turkey. The radiogenic heat productions from themarble tile samples varied from 0.05 to 2.17 µW/m3 with an averageof 0.26 µW/m3. The average the radiogenic heat production of themarble tile samples is approximately four times lower than the averagecontinental crust of 0.9 µW/m3.
