Background: There have been growing concerns about environmental pollution and public health issues associated with metal(loid)s and radionuclides. As a baseline for monitorisation, radioactivity and specific metal(loid) levels have been measured to investigate the estimated environmental health risks in Igdir province at the Turkish side of the border, in the vicinity of the Metsamor Nuclear P...

The natural (40K) and anthropogenic (137Cs) radioactivity concentration in four different typologies of early childhood (up to two years old) foods, i.e., homogenized fruit, meat, biscuits baby pasta, produced Italy sold Italian large retailers, was investigated through High Purity Germanium (HPGe) gamma spectrometry. present study is carried out with the aim to: (i) evaluate background levels ...

background: the natural radioactivity level and the radon concentration of soil were measured at four important geothermal area located in dikili geothermal region, turkey. materials and methods: the natural radionuclide content of soil samples were measured by nai(tl) gamma spectrometer system and the soil radon concentration were determined using kodak-pethe lr-115 type ii solid state nuclear...

Background: Turkey, especially the northern part of it, was one of the countries which were contaminated by the Chernobyl accident.  Rize is a city located in the Northeastern district of Turkey which was heavily influenced by the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Materials and Methods: In this study, the activity concentrations of natural (226Ra, 232Th, 40K) and artificial (137Cs) were measurem...
