Özet
In the city centre of Isparta, located in the southwestern part of Türkiye, indoor radon concentrations and gamma dose rate levels were observed above the world and country averages. For this reason, the determination of the natural radioactivity levels in soil samples of Isparta province is of great interest. In the present study, the activity concentrations of radionuclides (namely 226Ra,232Th, 40K and 137Cs) were investigated in the soil samples collected from 72 different points including the city centre and 12 towns of Isparta by using a gamma spectrometer with a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The activity concentrations of 226Ra,232Th, 40K and 137Cs radionuclides in the samples were found in the range of 4.08 ± 0.39–69.84 ± 1.43 Bqkg−1, 2.63 ± 0.28–65.66 ± 1.41 Bqkg−1, 44.48 ± 3.17–452.38 ± 9.65 Bqkg−1 and 0.28 ± 0.18–19.10 ± 0.61 Bqkg−1 respectively. The averages of all the measurements …
