| Özet |
| The raw parts (roots, leaves, seeds, flowers, etc.) and extracts of medicinal and aromatic herb (MAH) species are widely utilized in traditional and modern medicine as drugs to treat disease and/or prevent illnesses. MAH species absorb nutrients and minerals from the soil, as well as toxic elements and radionuclides dispersed in the environment. Thus, this may provoke concerns about the possibility of human internal exposure to radionuclides found in these MAH species. This study aims to create a detailed database related to the activity concentrations of the natural (228Ra, 226Ra, and 40K) and artificial (137Cs) radionuclides in popular commercial MAH species consumed in Türkiye and potential radiological health risks (PRHRs) due to the ingestion of MAHs. The activity concentrations (Bq/kg) of the radionuclides analyzed in the commercial popular 98 MAH samples by a gamma-ray spectrometric method … |
