| Özet |
| This study aimed to determine the activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th, and 40K) in commonly consumed spices collected from Kilis, southeastern Turkey, before the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes, and to assess the associated radiological health risks for adult consumers. Eleven spice samples were analyzed using NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometry. Activity concentrations were determined for 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K, and annual committed effective doses (Eing) were calculated based on an assumed annual spice consumption of 1.8 kg per year. Dose conversion factors recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP Publication 72) were applied. The mean activity concentrations were 25.70 ± 2.12 Bq·kg−1 for 226Ra, 24.43 ± 1.65 Bq·kg−1 for 232Th, and 409.67 ± 24.1 Bq·kg−1 for 40K. The corresponding average total annual committed … |
