Beach rock samples collected from South East Coast of Tamilnadu was analyzed by natural radioactive measurements to detect the presence of radioactive elements. PIXE technique was used to obtain elemental composition of beach rocks. The PIXE analysis was carried out using 1.7 MV tandem accelerators with the energy of 2 MeV protons at Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, Tamilnadu, India. The geochemical behavior of the elements in the region is discussed. The occurrence of the radioactive and non-radioactive elements is discussed for their geological significance. The results were used to assess environmental toxicity of heavy metals and radiation hazard in the study area.
