Özet
The concentrations of the natural radioactivity in water, soil and sediment samples collected from Bendimahi River which originates near the Tendürek Mountain (Van, Turkey), its tributaries and Van Lake (Turkey) were measured. The gross-alpha and gross-beta radioactivity concentrations were investigated in May and August in 2005. Determination of the gross-alpha and gross-beta radioactivity of river water, soil and sediment samples was obtained by using gas-flow proportional counter, PIC-MPC 9604-?/? counter. In water samples, the obtained results show that in May; gross-alpha and gross-beta activity concentrations varied between 0.063–0.782 and 0.021–0.816 Bq l?1 and in August the values were 0.009–0.037 and 0.081–3.116 Bq l?1, respectively. The gross-alpha and gross-beta activity concentrations in soil samples ranged from 0.800 to 4.277 Bq g?1 and 0.951 to 11.773 Bq g?1 in May and 0.686 to 4.713 Bq g?1 and 0.073 to 9.524 Bq g?1 in August, respectively. Concentrations ranging from 0.782 to 4.596 Bq g?1 and from 0.482 to 10.372 Bq g?1 in May and from 0.580 to 5.824 Bq g?1 and from 0.303 to 9.702 Bq g?1 in August for gross-alpha and gross-beta radioactivity were observed in sediments, respectively.
