Radioactivity Concentrations in the Surface Sediment and Mussel Samples from the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn, Turkey
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract It is well known that sediment and mussel samples are commonly used for monitoring of radioactivity levels in marine ecosystem. In the present study, radioactivity concentrations of Cs, K, Th, U and Po were measured in sediment and mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) samples. The results of the present study were compared with the similar studies.

Determination of radioactivity levels and hazards of sediment and rock samples in İkizdere and Kaptanpaşa Valley, Turkey
Background: The radioactivity levels in sediment and rock samples of İkizdere and Kaptanpaşa Valley have been determined. To our knowledge, there seems to be no information about radioactivity level in the İkizdere and Kaptanpaşa Valley sediments and rocks so far. Materials and Methods: The average radium equivalent activity (Raeq), the total absorbed dose rate (D), the external risk index (Hex...
متن کاملRecent years status of sediment bed of Golden Horn (Istanbul) after year 1999.
Golden Horn is an estuary in Istanbul. It has connection with Marmara Sea directly and with Black Sea via Bosphorus, and was polluted by different kinds of industrial plants up to 1999. In addition to this, municipal wastewater of around one million people has been discharged to here. Greater part of the estuary was almost blocked off by sediment islands. Extensive effort was spent to dredge se...

Background:The natural radioactivity levels in soil samples of Karadağ Mountain in central Anatolia region have been determined. Materials and Methods: Analyses on the collected samples were performed to determine gross alpha and beta radioactivity concentrations by using a gas-flow proportional counter and the concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K by using a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. Res...

The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in water and sediment samples from hot springs of Mahallat and soil samples from their neighboring environs have been determined using two high resolution high purity germanium (HPGe) detectors with relative efficiencies 38.5% and 55%. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 23...
متن کاملConcentrations of metals in water, sediment and tissues of Cyprinus carpio L., 1758 from Mogan Lake (Turkey)
In this study, some metals (aluminium, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, lead, zinc and vanadium) and metalloid (silicon) were determined in water, sediment and some tissues of fish Cyprinus carpio from Mogan Lake. Fish samples were caught in March 2007. As a result of the examination of metals in the water aluminium has the lowest and silicon has the highest concentration. In sediment samples...
