Measurements of indoor radon concentration levels in Kilis, Osmaniye and Antakya, Turkey during spring season
(Sprınger, 2012)
The fact that 50% of the natural radiation dose to which humans are exposed is caused by radon gas makes indoor radon measurements important. In this study, levels of indoor radon gas were measured in 204 houses in Kilis, ...
A novel shielding material prepared from solid waste containing lead for gamma ray
(Pergamon-Elsevıer Scıence Ltd, 2010)
Human beings are continuously exposed to cosmogenic radiation and its products in the atmosphere from naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) within Earth, their bodies, houses and foods. Especially, for the ...
Assessments of natural radioactivity and radiological hazards in construction materials used in Elazig, Turkey
(Pergamon-Elsevıer Scıence Ltd, 2011)
Building materials contain natural radionuclides (U-238, Th-232 and K-40) and therefore cause direct radiation exposure to the public. The radioactivity content of samples obtained from building materials produced in Elazig ...
Measurement of gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations in human tooth
(Elsevıer Scı Ltd, 2010)
The gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations were measured in human tooth taken from 3 to 6 age-groups to 40 and over ones. Accumulated teeth samples are investigated in two groups as under and above 18 years. ...
Assessment of natural radioactivity and heavy metals in water and soil around seismically active area
(Sprınger, 2010)
The natural radioactivity concentration and some heavy metals in various water and soil samples collected from seismically active area have been determined. Gross-alpha and beta concentrations of different 33 water samples ...
