Abstract

Soil is a basic component of biosphere and its important natural resource. The article deals with the analysis of soil radioactivity in Chinese province Guangdong. In the course of the analysis, it was stated that highly radioactive soil of China had been formed due to deep chemical weathering of highly radioactive potassium granites. High uranium and thorium contents in them are caused by specific conditions of weathering crust formation and subsequent pedogenesis. High dose loads for a man are formed in the development fields of such rock types.
