Abstract:

 


The concentration of gross alpha and
gross beta radioactivity were analyzed in current sediments of the Gulf of
Izmir (Eastern Aegean Sea). The sediments were collected from four different
locations where are very wealthy in terms of industry on the coast of the Gulf
of Izmir. Each processed sample was determined for gross alpha and gross beta
radioactivity by using a low-background counter (Berthold, LB 770 10- channel a-b low-level counter). The obtained
results show that natural gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations in
the drilling cores range from 537±77 to 1800±207 Bq kg-1 and 993±60 to 1842±102 Bq kg-1, respectively.
These results were compared with previous studies throughout the world, and the
study could be a reference data for the future research related to radiological
mapping or environmental monitoring in the area.
