Determination of Outdoor Absorbed Gamma Dose Rates of Kahramanmaraş Province, Turkey

Abstract

Outdoor absorbed gamma dose rates were measured in 118 different regions at a height of 1 m above the ground in the gonad (genitals) level in humans in Kahramanmaraş province and its vicinity using Eberline portable detector. Outdoor gamma dose rates varied from 32.7 nGy/h and 96.4 nGy/h with an arithmetic average of 64.8 nGy/h. The average value of the corresponding annual effective dose rate was estimated as 79.5 µSv/y. Lifetime cancer risk values estimated according to ICRP 103, BEIR VII and ICRP 60 were found to be 0.032, 0.036 and 0.040 respectively.

Direct Measurement of Gamma Dose Rate on the Fault Line, Calculation of Annual Effective Dose Equivalent, and Excessive Lifetime Cancer Risk

“…Buna göre, mevcut çalışmanın ortalama dış mekan gama doz hızı, Adana'da (Degerlier vd., 2008) ve Kastamonu'da (Kam ve Bozkurt, 2007) yapılan çalışmalardan daha yüksektir. Karataşlı'nın çalışmasına göre, Kahramanmaraş şehir merkezi için dış mekan gama doz hızı değerleri 32,7 nGy/h ile 68,8 nGy/h arasında değişmekte olup, aritmetik ortalama 56 nGy/h'dır (Karataşlı, 2019). Küçükönder tarafından yapılan çalışmada Kahramanmaraş İl merkezinde toplam 29 mahallede belirlenen noktalarda 31,57 ile 68,41 nGy/h arasında değişmekte iken, ortalama değeri ise 53,50 nGy/h olarak belirlenmiştir (Küçükönder, 2009).…”

“…Ortalama yıllık efektif doz değeri 79,5 µSv/y olarak tahmin edilmektedir. İlaveten, ICRP 103, BEIR VII ve ICRP'ye göre tahmin edilen yaşam boyu kanser riski değerleri sırasıyla 0,032, 0,036 ve 0,040 olarak belirlenmiştir (Karataşlı, 2019).…”

Büyükşehir Belediyelerinin Engellilere Yönelik Hizmetlerinin İçerik Analizi Yöntemi ile Değerlendirilmesi

“…In addition they provide traditional local services such as roads, water, parks, gardens and transportation, they aim to contribute to social peace by solving the individual and group needs of the local community, increasing local welfare and providing social assistance to disadvantaged groups in the city (Yönten and Şimşek, 2016). The rapid growth of the municipal organization in terms of population and spatial area due to internal migration, the inadequacy of the municipalities in providing services and the increase in the problems experienced in geographically large provinces have paved the way for the establishment of metropolitan municipalities (Gürbüz, Yıldırım and Belli, 2014). In 2012, the Metropolitan Municipality status was rearranged, and the number of 16 Metropolitan Municipalities was increased to 30 (Bekdemir, Kocaman and Polat, 2014).…”
