Abstract

This study dealt with analyzing of naturally occurring ⁴⁰K radioisotope in beach sand and seawater samples of Sari{dotless}msakli{dotless} beach at Aegean coastal region of Turkey and its contribution to natural radioactivity. By using gamma spectroscopy the mean radioactivity concentration was found as 1093.00 ± 115.07 Bq kg^-1 for the beach sand and as 14.08 ± 3.50 Bq kg^-1 for the seawater. The average external effective dose rate of beach sand was determined in air at 1 m above the ground as 45.58 ± 4.80 nGy h^-1.
