Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to measure the outdoor gamma dose rates of central district of Edirne and to calculate the annual effective dose equivalent to the public. For this aim, Measurements were taken with a plastic scintillation detector SP6 (via using portable counter ESP2, Eberline) from 14 different points in central district of Edirne. According to the calculations, the lowest gamma concentration was measured to 19,6 nGy/h while the highest value was measured to 60 nGy/h. The gamma dose average of 14 points was calculated to 38,5 nGy/h. And, the average annual effective dose equivalent to the public was calculated to 47,3 μSv/y. The impressions obtained about the region were evaluated in terms of live health.
