dc.description.abstractNatural radionuclide activity concentration of surface soils at 64 locations in central Manisa were measured using gamma spectrometry (ORTEC). The natural gamma radioactivity of the terrestrial radionuclides in soil samples and the gamma-absorbed dose rates of these radionuclides in air were calculated. In this study, track etch film (CR-39) was used to determine the distribution of radon levels in dwellings. The average annual effective dose equivalents from the calculated outdoor terrestrial gamma radiation for a person in Manisa is 66 μ Sv, whilst the annual effective dose equivalent from 222Rn is calculated to be 4.83 mSv/yr. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
