Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the outdoor absorbed gamma dose levels in and around Adiyaman province in the southeast of Turkey. Measurements were performed using a portable plastic scintillator at 94 different points (Eberline Smart Portable (ESP-2) model). Three readings were made for each measurement and the mean of these three values were determined and the gamma dose values were determined for each measurement region. External gamma irradiation velocities were measured between 63.5 (nGy/h) and 380.2 (nGy/h) levels in Adıyaman and surrounding areas and the mean value was calculated as 144.3 (nGy/h). This value corresponds to the average effective dose equivalent of 177 μSv per year. The lifetime averages of cancer risk values for ICRP 103, BEIR VII and ICRP 60 were found to be 0.071, 0.079 and 0.089, respectively. The results obtained with the results of similar studies in other provinces in Turkey and compared with the world average

Özet

Bu çalışma Türkiye'nin güneydoğusunda bulunan Adıyaman ili ve çevresinde açık havada soğurulan gama radyasyon doz seviyesini belirlemek için yapılmıştır. Ölçümler önceden belirlenmiş 94 farklı noktada (Eberline Smart Portable (ESP-2) model) portatif bir plastik sintilatör kullanılarak yapıldı. Her ölçüm için üçer okuma yapılmış ve bu üç değerin ortalaması alınarak her bir ölçüm bölgesi için gama doz değerleri belirlendi. Adıyaman ve çevresinde dış gama dozu kullanılarak, dış gama ışınlanma hızları 63.5 (nGy/h) ile 380.2 (nGy/h) değerleri arasında ölçüldü ve ortalama değer 144.3 (nGy/h) olarak hesaplandı. Bu değer yıllık etkin doz eşdeğeri 177 μSv değerinde etkin doz ortalamasına karşılık gelmektedir. Adıyaman ve çevresinde yaşam boyu kanser risk değerleri ICRP 103, BEIR VII ve ICRP 60 için yüzdelik ortalamaları sırasıyla sırasıyla 0,071, 0,079 ve 0,089 olarak bulundu. Elde edilen sonuçlarla Türkiye’de diğer illerde yapılan benzer çalışmaların sonuçları ve dünya ortalamaları ile karşılaştırılmıştır.
