| Özet |
| Activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th, 226Ra and 40K in quartzite sand samples collected from the Ovacık–Silifke–Mersin open pit located in the East Mediterranean region of Turkey were determined by using a gamma-ray spectrometry technique. The mean activity concentrations of the 238U, 232Th, 226Ra and 40K in quartzite sand samples were found as 81.7 ± 22.9 Bq kg−1, 6.3 ± 2.8 Bq kg−1, 77.5 ± 24.3 Bq kg−1and 140.0 ± 124.1 Bq kg−1, respectively. The gamma index (Iγ), the internal exposure index (Iα), the indoor absorbed dose rate (Din) and the corresponding annual effective dose (Hin) were evaluated for the public exposure to radiological hazard arising due to the use of quartzite sand samples as building material. The values of Iγ, Iα, Din and Hin ranged from 0.20 to 0.75, with a mean of 0.34 ± 0.11, 0.23 to 0.77 with a mean of 0.39 ± 0.12, 58.27 to 201.51 nGy h−1 with a mean of 93.33 ± 27.63 … |
