| Özet |
| In this study, natural radioactivity levels (226Ra, 232Th, and 4 K) of some medicinal plant samples with known anti-oxidative properties, which are frequently consumed by animals and humans, were obtained from Ankara province and its surroundings (Mamak, Kızılcahamam, Beypazarı, Kahramankazan, and Polatlı districts) were determined using a thallium-doped sodium iodide NaI(Tl) gamma spectrometry. By using the determined natural radioactivity concentrations in the collected plant samples, the number of radiological doses that people could be exposed by consuming these plants was calculated. As a result of the study, 226Ra, 232Th, and 4 K radioactivity concentration ranges of the plant samples were found be 14.69 ± 1.27–59.08 ± 3.12 Bq kg−1, 1.78 ± 0.04–50.05 ± 2.76 Bq kg−1 and 207.24 ± 34.09–826.13 ± 25.40 Bq kg−1, respectively. The highest 226Ra, 232Th, and 4 K activity concentrations were … |
