Abstract

This paper presents the environmental radioactivity concentrations in Tekirdaǧ, a city in the region of Marmara in Turkey. Indoor and outdoor γ-exposure rates were measured by Eberline smart portable counter, ESP-2. Gross α- and β-counting of the water samples taken from municipal supplies, wells, and fountains were performed by using a gas-flow proportional counter, Berthold LB770-PC 10. Soil samples, collected from 40 different points in the area, were analyzed by using a γ-ray spectrometry system connected with an HPGe detector and the radioactivity concentrations of the radio nuclides of uranium and thorium series ⁴⁰K and ¹³⁷Cs were determined. Dose and risk calculations were made.
