This study was carried out to determine the presence of main radionuclides from natural and artificial radioactivity in soil Kosovo, using gamma-ray spectroscopy. The mean activity concentration for Ra-226, Th-232, K-40, Cs-137 22.32 ± 1.41, 22.14 1.31, 358.16 8.85, 12.94 0.44 Bq/kg, respectively. Radium equivalent ranged 47 100 Bq/kg. calculated values gamma index (Iγ), external hazard (Hex), ...

this study was conducted to determine the radioactivity concentration in soil samples of anarak-khour district located at central iran. 48 soil samples from a depth of 10-15 cm were taken from seven different sites for monitoring. the radioactivity concentration of 238u, 232th, 137cs and 40k in soil samples was determined, using a high resolution (hpge detector, p-type) γ-spectrometry by detect...

Radioactivity in the soil of a tea garden in the Fatickchari area in Chittagong, Bangladesh, was measured using a high-resolution HPGe detector. The soil samples were collected from depths of up to 20 cm beneath the soil surface. The activity concentrations of naturally occurring (238)U and (232)Th were observed to be in the range of 27 ± 7 to 53 ± 8 Bq kg(-1) and 36 ± 11 to 72 ± 11 Bq kg(-1), ...
