Özet
Energy drinks (EDs) are soft drinks with energy-boosting ingredients such as caffeine, taurine, vitamin B, and herbal extracts. In this study, the first-ever radon activity concentrations of thirty-five canned ED samples from mostly preferred sixteen assorted brands consumed in Türkiye were analyzed by using a monitoring system. Also, radiological risk resulting from internal exposure due to the ionizing radiation emitted from radon, and its short-lived decay daughters were assessed for adults. Additionally, some physicochemical parameters of ED samples were determined by well-known instruments. Radon activity concentrations analyzed in ED samples ranged from 21.3 ± 0.8 to 37.5 ± 1.8 mBq/L and these values are significantly below the limits recommended for drinking water by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the European Union directive. The values of physicochemical parameters determined for …
