Abstract

Fourty two soil samples were collected to a depth of 20 cm from the Aegean Region of Turkey. The activity concentrations of ²²⁶Ra in the samples were determined by a radioanalytical method. The radiochemical yield for pure ²²⁶Ra was found to be 90.02±2.74%. The average concentration of ²²⁶Ra was 0.150 Bq·g^-1 and its distribution fitted a normal curve. The average absorbed dose rate was found to be 61 nGy·h^-1. The data were evaluated to explain of ²²⁶Ra distribution in the agricultural area and compared with other results in the literature.
