Özet |
Natural background gamma radiation was measured along roads in the environs of Çanakkale region by using a car-borne spectrometer system with a plastic gamma radiation detector. In addition, activity concentrations of 238U, 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in soil samples from the Çanakkale region were determined by using a gamma spectrometer with an HPGe detector. A total of 92 856 data of the background gamma dose rate were collected for the Çanakkale region. The background gamma dose rate of the Çanakkale region was mapped using ArcGIS software, applying the geostatistical inverse distance-weighted method. The average and population-weighted average of the gamma dose are 55.4 and 40.6 nGy h -1, respectively. The corresponding average annual effective dose to the public ranged from 26.6 to 96.8 μSv. © The Author 2011. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved. |
