| Özet |
| The distribution of natural 238U, 232Th and 40K radionuclides in soil samples of Pompeiopolis Ancient City in TaşNöSrü-Kastamonu, Turkey has been carried out using a NaI (Tl) gamma ray spectrometric technique. The mean concentrations of radionuclides 238U, 232Th, and 40K were 31.12, 33.63, and 320.02 Bq kg-1, respectively. The mean activity concentrations of measured radionuclides were comSared with other literature and world’s mean values. Using the activity concentrations of these radionuclides, radiological hazard parameters such as Radium equivalent activity (Raeq), External hazard index (Hex), Annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE), Absorbed dose rate (ADRA), ReSresentative level index (Iγr) and Excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) were evaluated in order to determine the effects of the soils. Correlations between 238U, 232Th and 40K radionuclides and the radiological hazard parameters obtained from radioactivity were carried out to know the existing relations. The radiological maps of the Pompeiopolis/Turkey were composed using the results obtained from the study. |
