Özet
In this study, the distribution of natural radionuclides in various foods that people in Turkey frequently consume in their daily lives and the radiation hazards that may arise for humans due to the consumption of these foods were evaluated. The results of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K concentrations in the analyzed food samples were ranged from 2.2 ± 0.6 to 36.2 ± 6.9 Bq kg−1, from 2.98 ± 1.38 to 49.56 ± 5.41 Bq kg−1, and from 83.55 ± 78 to 304.89 ± 45.7 Bq kg−1, respectively. The absorbed dose rate, annual effective dose rate, lifetime cancer risk and annual effective ingestion dose were estimated and which were also compared with the internationally approved values. It was found that none of the results exceeds the recommended limit value.
