Radioactivity analysis of soil samples taken from the western and northern shores of Lake Van, Turkey
(Pergamon-Elsevıer Scıence Ltd, 2017)
In this study, concentrations of the radioactive isotopes Ra-226, Th-232, K-43 and Cs-137 were measured in soil samples from the shores of Lake Van using a high purity germanium detector. Activity concentrations obtained ...
Radioactivity and hydrochemical properties of certain thermal Turkish spa waters
(Iwa Publıshıng, 2017)
The study aims to determine the radioactivity levels of thermal waters which have been used seasonally or permanently in spas for therapeutic intentions. Samples were collected from spas in different regions of Turkey. ...
Measurements of radioactivity and dose assessments in some building materials in Bitlis, Turkey
(Pergamon-Elsevıer Scıence Ltd, 2016)
In this study, samples of perlite, pumice and Ahlat stones (Ignimbrite) extracted from mines in Bitlis and samples of other building materials produced in facilities in Bitlis were collected and analyzed. Activity ...
Radioactivity concentrations and dose assessments of therapeutic peloids from some Turkish spas
(Mıneralogıcal Soc, 2015)
The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in peloids were studied to assess the radiologic hazard from 18 Turkish spas. The peloids are mainly used for therapeutic treatments, rheumatic diseases and aesthetic ...
Radioactivity Levels in Some Mushroom Species and Consequent Doses
(Asıan Journal Of Chemıstry, 2014)
The radioactivity concentrations of natural radionuclides Th-232, K-40, U-238, have been determined for various mushroom samples collected from black sea region in Ordu and Kastomonu provinces of Turkey. NaI (Tl)gamma-sc ...
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 ...
