摘要：
This study assesses natural and artificial radioactivity concentrations in surface soil samples from nine different districts in Edirne province, Turkey, and examines the associated potential radiation hazards using gamma spectrometry. The average activity concentrations of radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and 137Cs were measured as 39.73 ± 8.45, 55.85 ± 10.55, 407.12 ± 35.39, and 8.76 ± 0.74 Bq kg−1 respectively. The radiation hazard indices for natural activity were calculated. The evaluated data were compared with internationally approved values.
