Assessment of radioactivity and heavy metal contents in surface water samples from Van Lake, Turkey
(Sprınger Heıdelberg, 2021)
The aim of this study was to determine the natural radioactivity levels of surface water samples obtained from Van Lake in spring and autumn seasons. For this purpose, the gross alpha and beta radioactivity levels of the ...
The radon concentrations of some waters in Bitlis (Turkey) and their dose estimates
(Sprınger, 2021)
The activity concentration values of Rn-222 radio-isotope, which in an alpha active isotope, were measured in Bitlis and its district water samples in this study. The samples were analyzed with AlphaGuard PQ 2000 PRO active ...
Assessment of gamma radiation levels of beach sands in Bitlis region of Lake Van
(Sprınger Heıdelberg, 2020)
Natural gamma radioisotope activity concentration levels in beach sands in the Bitlis region of Lake Van, in eastern Turkey, were determined using an HPGe detector. A total of 15 different beach sand samples were collected ...
Radiological hazard assessment of natural radionuclides and heavy metal pollution in deep mud samples of Van Lake, Turkey
(Sprınger, 2020)
In this study, the natural radioactivity levels were determined for the deep mud samples taken from Van Lake. Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 natural radionuclides concentration analysis were performed using high-purity germanium ...
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, ...
